Out with the old - Graphic Designer Hamilton-Brown Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed working with the team at Hamilton-Brown and the collaborative environment that we pride ourselves on. Our designers are either based at our Studios (located in London and Bristol) or work on-site for one of our prestigious clients. Of course, like most businesses over the past 18 months, our designers have had to adapt and work from home during the pandemic, and adapt they have! We were very fortunate to have upgraded our IT systems in January 2020 which meant we were well placed to move seamlessly to working from home. As we move forward, Hamilton-Brown is looking at a hybrid model of mixing working from home and time in the Studio / on-site to ensure we continue to offer flexibility to all our employees whilst also maintaining collaborative working and social connections with colleagues and providing training opportunities. Our talented designers work with a variety of clients and the work encompasses digital, bespoke Adobe Creative Cloud design as well as MS Office Presentation work. Our designers have the opportunity to work across all areas of design and we encourage cross platform work to build our designers knowledge and skills, however we do also have specialist designers who focus on each of these areas. When we recruit designers we try to match individual’s skills and experience to the work of our clients and through our objective setting process look at employee’s goals and aspirations as well as areas for personal development and training opportunities. During the Coronavirus pandemic Hamilton-Brown, like many businesses up and down the country, did have to make some difficult decisions and as a result some of our employees were made redundant. In each instance, it was an extremely difficult decision and, as a business, it was a low point in our history. We do however remain in touch with our “HB alumni” and we are always delighted to hear how they are progressing in their new roles – be that travelling to the other side of the world, taking on a more senior role in design, or leaving design altogether and taking an entirely new career direction. Throughout the company we seek to hire and promote the best candidate for the job. We are proud of our diverse workforce and the gender balance of our organisation with 58% of our employees are female, our Management Team comprises three female Directors and all our Team and Account Leaders for our on-site clients are female.
