This is a very exciting time for Lemon Lane as our business continues to go from strength to strength hence why we needed to strengthen our teams across leadership, production and logistics. Our turnover increased by 25% in the latest financial year to reach £10M. And we are forecasting this to increase to £11.5m. in the next financial year. We are incredibly proud of this achievement, given that we are a relatively new agency, which only launched in 2020. It’s evidence that our vision of building an agency that blends the rigorous processes of a large agency with the personalised touch of a boutique firm, whilst also bringing a fresh approach, is paying off.”
