Introducing one of our Cheltenham members just added to the online Members Directory. Meet Nick Bracey from Brace Creative Agency - here is a bit about Nick and his business: Hi, I'm Nick and for over a decade now I've enjoyed helping some of the biggest names in industry achieve their goals whilst helping small and medium enterprises grow to their full potential. At Brace Creative we started on a local level and have never forgotten our roots, but we've always aimed high. It's these lofty ambitions we seek to bring to all of our clients. We've worked with charities, locals governments and schools, those just starting out, as well as industry giants. We know the online community inside out and we cater every package for you. I believe in being your best and working with the best, which is why we've built up a team you can trust at the office, and who can always be found with us at the big Bracey BBQs; which brings a whole new meaning to bringing your work home with you! Whether it's my BBQ tongs or the latest tablet, I'm a gadget guy and understanding these new technologies as they happen is what puts us a cut above the rest. But above all, as you can tell, I'm an old fashioned people person. At the end of the day, that's what all business boils down to. I enjoy working with others and regularly hold talks with and on behalf of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), so if you've seen me around, don't hesitate to connect! Outside of the office (a rare occasion, granted), you'll find me hitting the slopes on my skis, giving Justin Rose a run for his money on the golf course or walking my mad labrador with my equally mad, but beautiful, family. Give us a ring or connect on here for exciting opportunities with myself and Brace Creative. #cotswoldnetworking #UKnetworking #cheltenhambusiness #cheltenham #gloucesterbusiness #cheltenhamnetworking #cheltenhamsmallbusiness #cotswoldslife
