The crew talks: 12 reasons to love working at the bigger boat
It’s a happy 12th birthday to us! And we aren’t about to let the occasion go unmarked without hearing from some of the crew.
We’re now a 20-strong team with an array of clients, occasional office dogs and a shared obsession with great food. Plus, we’re looking forward to welcoming an old crewmate back onboard and the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
A lot has happened during 12 years of The Bigger Boat, and we continue to evolve and grow. We’re proud to have helped create brands, improve and develop crewmates past and present and welcome new clients to the family. One thing for sure is that we relish playing a part in businesses’ and individuals’ growth and success – and we’ve no plans to slow down.
Here, we ask the crew what they each love the most about life onboard TBB.
Teamwork makes dream work
Simple one from me – the team! Everybody here is seriously talented but, more than that, they are enthusiastic! This means there is a constant drive to do the best job possible. Couple that with open minds and we produce brilliant work. And they’re all good people. The people make the place and it’s a great place to be. test
I’ve not been here long but within my first couple of days at The Bigger Boat I knew I’d made the right decision taking a job. My favourite thing is the culture – I’m surrounded by people who take their job seriously, but they don’t take themselves too seriously. We work hard but we have a laugh while we do it. Every day there is something new to laugh about. I leave the office feeling productive but never tired, because there’s always something new and exciting going on.
I love working among a talented crew (a second family) where our combined skills make an awesome whole.
I think the people here are great. I’ve been here a while, and people come and go, but there’s always a good bunch here. Everyone’s always very approachable when I need a helping hand.
Flexibility and variety keep it interesting
