Champion Trimedia employees can take part in a “Wimbledon Wii” tournament or in sack races at the picnic in the park summer party, to which all the nine UK offices are invited. In 2007, the London-based PR business merged with Harrison Cowley to become a top 15 agency in the eyes of PR Week magazine and, last year, it won agency of the year at the European Excellence Awards with recognition for its Love Food, Hate Waste campaign. A subsidiary of the Huntsworth Group, the agency has expanded from 52 staff in 2006 to 152 now, and this has yielded opportunities for personal growth (an 85% positive score), with the training offered being of great personal benefit (75%). Staff say there are no limits to how much they can learn and grow (76%). Work is timulating (81%) but it can be stressful (62%, and the second worst result for stress in the top 100). To help people out, fresh fruit is provided in all offices and a Wellbeing Wednesday four times a year offers massages, a healthy lunch and seasonal treats. Chairman Vikki Stace and the new chief executive, Loretta Tobin, inspire Trimedia staff (84%), who are confident in their leadership (88%). Employees have a great deal of faith in the pair (86%).
