Happy #LoveYourPetDay! 🐾
Every great project has a mascot by its side.
We’re celebrating the companions who fuel our creativity. Whether we’re deep in data or debugging code, our pets are valued members of the Evo team.
Join us in sharing the love for your furry (or scaly!) friends, post yours below! 🐶🐱🦎
Despite being battered by the seasonal lurgy, a healthy(ish) number of valiant and determined Evo heroes tackled the Lock and Code Escape Rooms near Taunton this Christmas - and lived to tell the tale.
Spoiler alert: We made it out. Just about…
The real winners were The Ring of Bells in Taunton, who fed and watered our victorious (and slightly delirious) crew afterwards. 10/10 for the food, service - and putting up with us.
Nothing says team bonding quite like being locked (and in some instances chained) in a room together... voluntarily.
👋 A big welcome to Alex, our new Digital Growth Manager in the Search team!
Alex brings a mix of curiosity and strategy, fuelled by his interests in psychology, languages and history, perfect for understanding audiences and creating smart growth opportunities.
Outside of work, he’s an avid runner and gym-goer, and has recently taken up Krav Maga.
Great to have you with us, Alex!
👋 We’re excited to welcome Sean to #TeamEvo as a Senior Web Developer!

Massive congratulations to our very own @admmcg for completing the Richmond Half Marathon on Sunday in a blistering PB time of 1 hr 38 mins!
Adrian also managed to raise an incredible £410 for our Charity of the Year, @stganimalcentre , which we’re sure will go a long way towards helping the animals they take care of.
Top work Adrian! 👏

Week 3: Josh and Max (Year 12)

It’s always brilliant to see how much students can achieve in just a week. Best of luck to all of you for the future!

From zero experience to presenting like pros in just five days 👏🏻
Week one of the Evo Academy work experience pilot with @westfield.academy_yeovil is complete. It’s been an absolute privilege to witness their journey.
These Year 10 students took on a live creative challenge from @clarksshoes and in under a week built full brand concepts, product ranges, and AI-powered ad campaigns.
Today they stood up and pitched their ideas with clarity, courage, and creativity in front of a senior team from Clarks and absolutely smashed it 🔥
The energy in the room this afternoon was electric. A world away from where we started just five days ago. The growth in confidence, engagement, teamwork, and belief in themselves has been unbelievable to watch.
A huge thank you to @speakersforschools and The Hg Foundation as without your belief and financial support this wouldn’t be possible.
We are buzzing for week 2 with another 30 Year 10 students from @thecastleschool starting on Monday working from the great offices at @claimsconsortiumgroup 🙌🏻
