Client: Firefly
Business type: Soft drinks manufacturer
The company started life with Harry & Marcus squashed into a little sweatbox on Kensington Church Street. In fact, it was so tiny and sweltering in the summer, they spent most of our time in the local Caffé Nero or sitting in the park.
They have a bit more space now - they moved into a converted garage near Gloucester Road in 2005. And as there are now 10 of them in the team, that's no bad thing.
They try to focus on two things: developing healthy, energising drinks using the best natural ingredients; and shamelessly courting publicity for them. It has to be done...
They don't have our own factory - they work with a bottler in the North of England. But they do select all our ingredients suppliers, to make sure there's never a compromise on quality. they'll never put sugar or artificial ingredients in our drinks. And they want to be proud of every drink they make.
As people, they like to challenge their selves and love what they're doing. Life's short - there's no time for "can't face work today" days. And so far, it's been the ride of their lives...
