A PAIR of Warrington-based entrepreneurs who launched a creative PR and communications agency in 2015 have seen their company leap into a list of Britain’s 100 best start-ups.
Gary Jenkins and Lee Cullen formed No Brainer in Warrington less than two years ago and since then have seen the business grow rapidly, garnering a clutch of national clients and top industry awards.
Independently judged, The Startups 100 2017 Index highlights the UK’s most game-changing and pioneering new businesses. Compiled by startups.co.uk and AXA Business Insurance, the list reflects the country’s thriving start-up community and innovative concepts which demonstrate "innovation, solid financials, economic impact and ability to scale”.
Only 21 businesses outside London have been acknowledged with the accolade, with No Brainer being one of only three businesses in the North West to feature in the index.
Founder and director Gary Jenkins said:
"This is a huge achievement for No Brainer and the team are thrilled to have been recognised on a national scale.
"We’ve worked incredibly hard over the past two years, establishing ourselves as a credible and innovative option for businesses, whether household names or SMEs, who want support when it comes to telling their story in the most effective way possible.
"In a short space of time we’ve enhanced our abilities and employed new and innovative practises to strengthen our offering. We’ve got huge growth plans for the future and look forward to building on this success going forward.”
The agency currently works with a roster of national clients, including HomeServe, Northern Powergrid, Sale Sharks and MBNA. It also works with a range of Cheshire-based clients including Aaron and Partners, Reaseheath College, CH1ChesterBID and Results Through Digital.
No Brainer was also recently crowned ‘New Agency of the Year’ at the PRmoment north awards and last year picked up the ‘New Business of the Year’ title at the Warrington Business Awards.
