Winning the Best Large SEO Agency award at the European Search Awards is pretty much the pinnacle of awards you can win – it’s a super proud moment for me. We’ve come a long way as an agency in the last 10 years (it was only three years ago we won the Best Small SEO Agency at the European awards), and I know awards don’t define us, but they do help guide us along the way. And for me, this is an indication that we are heading in the right direction. Nick Redding, Managing Director
