Amelia Redge, agency director at Reech, said: “We have reviewed everything from benefits and policies, to sustainability initiatives and supply chain,.

“We are really proud to join the limited number of B Corps across the county and are grateful to our team for all their efforts. It’s certainly not a finish line! We will continue to create brilliant work for our clients while knowing that we are part of a positive movement, making a positive contribution.”
