This is Our Story
Discover how Spring PR energises brands with creativity and strategy, perfectly tailored for the sports and active outdoor lifestyle market.
1999
It all began with an Apple. An Apple Mac. When Steph moved down south to embark on her freelance journey, her kind former boss, Carlton Reid, gifted her an iconic Apple Mac with the colorful striped logo, setting the stage for her new chapter.
2000
Spring finds its name and lands its first client! Spring PR was born when Steph brainstormed names at the Blue Jazz Café in Wells. Rock, Spring. Yeah Spring! So many fun things come from "Spring" Springboard, Springtime, Springwood, Springhead (you get the idea). And not long after that, Sprayway came on board as our very first client!
2001
Spring embarks on a beautiful journey as Polartec joins us, kicking off a partnership that has flourished for over 20 years and counting!
2003
Spring welcomes its very first employee, marking the beginning of our growing team!
2005
Spring's first HQ is established right in the front garden of Steph’s home—a charming 4x3 wooden gem that’s a major upgrade from being cramped in the study. This is also when we start our journey with a US backpack brand, then little-known in the UK, Osprey.
2006
There are two of us working out of "the shed" which feels voluminous! We are on fire and loving every minute of it. Clients pop in for a cuppa (we're only five minutes from the M4) around the kitchen table and a homemade cookie.
2008
As Spring gets busier, we bring on Jo as freelance support. She's absolutely brilliant and will soon join us full-time, though Spring HQ is starting to feel a bit cosy!
2015
We start recruiting Spring is getting busier and takes on Jo as freelance support. She’s brilliant and will eventually be taken on full time but Spring HQ is a bit of a squash.
2015
Abbie joins our team as our first apprentice, fresh out of school and brimming with the energy of an 18-year-old. With her arrival, Spring HQ gets a new home!
2016
We move to Cowage Farm—our first proper office with a toilet! The internet might be a challenge year after year, but at least the cows are friendly.
2019
Naomi joins the team from Spring London, instantly becoming our most fashionable employee with her cool sneakers. Meanwhile, we’re in our walking shoes—witnessing the outdoor vs. lifestyle trend unfold right before our eyes!
2020
The nice cows aren't compensating for the awful internet so Spring relocates to the serene, tree-lined Charlton Park just as the country enters COVID lockdown. The office remains unused for the next nine months as we weather the storm—figuratively speaking, of course.
2021
Hybrid working begins and Spring happily reinstates all its events. They are more successful than ever giving the team a thirst to do more.
2024
We have a massive rebrand, we deep dive into our culture and values and deliberate over colours and logos. Yes! We all agree, that 'spring/loop/pathway' fits us exactly. We launch this beautiful website!
