Emma Grace

Emma has been at PrettyGreen since the company was born and now helps rule the roost alongside Jessica Hargreaves in her role as Joint Managing Director. Having worked in PR for over 14 years, Emma has planned and implemented a vast array of communications Campaigns for a variety of leading FMCG, lifestyle and entertainment Brands. Her mantra is that even the seemingly dull can fuel a conversation if the idea is brilliant enough (no brand snobbery here!). Career highlights include far too many to mention, career low points however include pretending to be a cleaner (complete with tabard & marigolds) for a Client as part of an Evening Standard case study…a full page no less, anything in the name of coverage!

His IT skills should keep the company network running smoothly and his unhealthy interest in the UK tax system is causing some raised eyebrows. Tim has a very keen interest in cricket (playing, organising and watching), football, golf, skiing and cycling. He can often be seen charging over the Surrey Downs on his Roubaix, and still competes in a 5-a-side football league against lads half his age!

He eventually landed at PrettyGreen and hit the ground running, helping out the team over a spectrum of briefs and clients. When not staring aimlessly at his giant computer screen he can be found in his homeland of Essex, or listening to some live music somewhere in London. Dan loves to spend time hanging out with his girlfriend or best mates, finding new and exciting places to eat, drink, or be merry. If he was any more laid-back, he’d be lying down.

Ella Holbrook

Having just graduated with a degree in French from the University of Nottingham, Ella packed her bags and did the big move to London. After a year of living in Paris in 2012, working for both Media studio company Abel14 and at top fashion labels such as Acne and Dior (ooh lala!), she got a taste of working in a high-paced and event-filled environment, and knew that this was something she wanted to pursue. Starting at PrettyGreen was exactly the company she had in mind, and being an eager performer at school, it provides the perfect stage for her. By getting actively involved in events, whether that be dominating a megaphone during fitness workouts, or acting for clients at a party, Ella enjoys getting in the role, to make sure any event is fun and enjoyable. Her aim is to expand her experience with a wide spectrum of brands, having thus far worked on events for John Lewis, UnderArmour, giffgaff and Pandora. Although Ella is a born and bred Bristol girl, she is undoubtedly recognised (and scrutinised) by her ‘posho’ accent. (She still wears a scrunchy though…)

Mike Flatley

Mike came to PrettyGreen to help out for a few days in the summer of 2012. Two years later and he’s still here. Mainly because it’s a good deal more interesting than insurance and he’s also still chasing folks to complete their time sheets. He can’t get enough of financial reporting and has a love/hate relationship with Excel.
When not dealing with numbers, he enjoys photography, watching rugby league and wheat beers (drinking, not watching). And when he can escape to the hills, Mike loves mountain biking and hill-walking.

Natasha Kaeda

Natasha started out at PrettyGreen with a week of ‘I’m just helping out with the filing’. Months later she’s still here a couple of days a week to guard the petty cash tin and make sure everyone gets their expenses in on-time(ish). When not working on her love/hate relationship with Excel, Natasha is a playwright, currently writing a play about deep space and black holes with The Soho Theatre.

Either way, to get away from the computer screen she can be found pounding the streets or cycling to the nearest view point so she can wave around her beloved cameras that she likes to pretend to know how to use.

Highlights included bringing the first ever Christmas Fair on campus and organising Lethal Bizzle to perform at the annual Winter Ball #POW. Being part Italian, Roberto has naturally competed in the north London Italian Olympics and received multiple “taking-part” medals much to the disbelief of the wider PrettyGreen team.  He is a lover of sports and music – but he has a special place in his heart for Tottenham Hotspur.
