Bravand

A bittersweet day at Team Bravand as we say "laters" to our absolute gem of a teammate; our Project Manager extraordinaire, Ashanee M.. We've had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashanee for four years (pretty much to the day!). Her amazing sense of calm and can-do has been fantastic to work with and made ALL the difference to a huge number of projects and clients. Good luck mate - we know you'll smash whatever you do next and see you soon, yeah? x https://lnkd.in/ebhfqjTP #teambravand #projectmanager #appreciation #thankyou

Wotcha Bravand followers and friends, and a happy (snowy) International Men's Day to all! We love our fellas. We know we go on about the fact that we're female founded and led (note to self: failed actresses will make everything about them - I mean look, even this post...). But Team Bravand would never get the shedload of stuff we get done without the pragmatic, steady handed, creative, "yes that's possible", "here's that thing you asked for", "No, that's not enough information to sort a fix" attitude that the wonderful men in our lives deliver day in, day out. Bunch of Bravand heroes the lot of you. Big love! x #internationalmensday #teambravand #appreciation

Ductu Portal - the leading provider of meaningful encounters and interactions between employers and students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) - has appointed Bravand to help get more Careers Hubs and schools working with Ductu. Young people with learning disabilities statistically have a just a 6% chance of entering paid employment when they leave school. Ductu’s mission is to change that by making its really simple for schools to engage with employers. Follow this link to learn more about Ductu: https://lnkd.in/e9bhEBEZ Follow this link to read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eCtBJZxr Jem Jones, Director at Ductu said: “We are so pleased to be working with Bravand, who as an employer, are already doing much to support SEND students themselves. Their work so far has been transformational. The work done by 🌳Ross, Jilly, Agnieszka and Aleksandra is allowing us to reach more and more schools, teachers, Careers Hubs and parents, which critically allows more and more young people to gain invaluable access to our growing number of amazing employers." The image shows a group of people on a construction site. They are all wearing high-visibility yellow safety vests with the logo and name “Bowmer + Kirkland” printed on the back, along with white safety helmets. The group is being led by a person who is also wearing a safety vest and helmet, suggesting that they are part of a guided tour or a site inspection. The setting is an active construction area, with various machinery visible, including a compact roller and an excavator. The ground is covered in gravel, and there are trees in the background. In the distance, there is a modern building under construction with gray, white, and dark blue panels. The overall environment and the participants' safety gear indicate adherence to safety protocols on the site. The scene suggests a professional visit or educational tour, possibly for students or young trainees learning about construction practices.

Happy World Animal Day to all those furry, slinky, and scaly friends of ours. Apparently, as well as being super good for us humans in terms of our mental health, pets such as cats and dogs are also REALLY good for business. Here's a story about it from Digital Doughnut back in 2021 and we can only imagine that the stats are probably even higher now - https://lnkd.in/g5uuR3Cs So here's to two of the many pets we have shared our Zoom chats with over here at Team Bravand. Give them an awwww, give them a like, give them some love, give us a project... #PetsForProjects #AgencyPets #WorldAnimalDay
