BATH LIFE AWARDS 2020
Chloe Steers, director of Steers McGillan Eves looks back on the company’s win – which happened just as the firm celebrated its 20th birthday
Congratulations on scooping a Bath Life Award. How did you celebrate? We were absolutely delighted and drank far too much Prosecco – and then far too many cocktails at the after party!
What prompted you to enter the Awards? We have not entered the Awards before – but it was our 20th year of business so we thought it would be a nice way to mark the occasion.
Tell us a little about the company – what is its background?
We set up in 1999, straight from working for leading agencies in London. We have always believed in quality above all else and are grounded in the knowledge that we are a service industry – good working relationships and recommendations have been essential to our longevity.
