“The staff are everything. Their individual skills all contribute towards who we are as a business, and indeed our own brand! We have an open plan working environment and encourage team members to work directly with our customers. It’s important to our clients that they know who is working on their projects. Operating in this way stops silo’s and work flow bottle necks forming internally. It also means each team member takes personal pride in the delivery of the work we do.
We also ensure we operate in a professional and organised way. Keeping to deadlines and maintaining budgets for our customers is an important part of the process.”
Bringing the interview to a close, Amy envisions what lies ahead for future of the team at Planet and the design industry as a whole.
