Week 1: Ollie, Sam, and Cole (Year 10)
🏏 Cole put his sports knowledge to work by designing a cricket e-commerce site for a local brand.
🐉 Ollie built a website for his football team, the Galmington Dragons.
🧟 Sam used his new development skills to make a zombie shooter game!

Week 2: Bea and Emily (Year 10)
🎶 Fresh from Glastonbury Festival, Bea was inspired to design an Olivia Rodrigo fan site.
🌱 Emily learned to code and created a terrarium generator.

Week 3: Josh and Max (Year 12)
👨‍💻 With a couple of extra years experience under their belts, Josh and Max made real contributions to client projects before diving into new web technologies and building their own portfolio sites.

Yesterday some of spent the day at St Giles Animal Welfare centre in Wrantage, helping out with various duties to support them in the fantastic work they do. As our Charity of the Year for 2025, we're thrilled to be able to send groups of the team out to see the impact that St Giles has on animal welfare in our community and to get involved in a practical way around the centre however we can.

It's a tough job spending a Wednesday playing with the rescue cats and dogs, but someone's got to do it! 😻

Evo Agency came to help us yesterday. We are so grateful for their kindness, through donations, dog walking and good old fashioned scrubbing! They worked very hard 💕😅

Happy !

We are massive believers in Apprenticeships here at Evo, with 5 amazing members of our team having joined through an apprenticeship route. Here’s some of the reasons we find they work really well:

💡Work and learn on real projects - we believe the best way to learn is to get involved as quickly as possible on real projects, where you can work with the rest of the team to develop your skillset.

🏦 Earn a salary - unlike other forms of higher education where you leave with a lot of debt, you earn a salary whilst completing your apprenticeship.

📣 Develop soft skills - being in a workplace naturally develops soft skills that might otherwise get neglected in other forms of education, such as communication, team work and presentation skills.

We only have room for so many apprentices each year unfortunately, which is part of the reason behind our mission with and why we are so excited to see how we can keep increasing our impact on young people!

Thank you to all of our former and current apprentices for all of their hard work, and to our apprenticeship providers .ta, Digital Native and .

🏅 Congratulations Liz!

It was a proud night on Thursday as we got to see Liz collect the ‘Unsung Hero’ award at the Notty’s Awards.

Here’s an excerpt from our nomination for Liz that sums up perfectly why she won:

“She’s the person who makes the impossible look easy, all while keeping a smile on her face and the rest of us from falling apart. She’s the ultimate behind-the-scenes superstar, juggling client projects like a magician, managing deadlines like a time traveller, and somehow still finding time to make sure the team is happy, healthy, and not completely losing the plot.

She’s the heartbeat of our team, always going the extra mile without ever asking for the spotlight. So if anyone deserves to win this award, it’s Liz - our unsung, behind-the-scenes legend.”

👏 👏 👏
