Started Spring 2023

Freelance assistant Sophie supports the team during staff holidays and busy periods. With a keen eye for detail and the sunniest disposition, Sophie has an uncanny ability to focus for hours on the repetitive tasks that always seem to fall to the bottom of our-to lists.

As well as being an admin wizard, Sophie is a multi-talented creative with extensive small business experience. Previously running her own knitting brand, Sophie also works with some of our favourite Bristol businesses like No Frills Knitting and Georgia de Lotz.
