Paved With Gold was built to support makers all over the world who want to get their products into the hands of people who will love them. Our team are in London, Glasgow and Barcelona. Everyone is in full control of their workload and how they manage their time. We don’t have set working hours, allowing them to fit their work around their passions, studies or families. We use tools like Slack, email and Skype to make remote working seem not so remote. Sending out a weekly email to all our consultants, to keep them connected even if we’re not working on the same project.

Hiring, supporting and retaining women is in our DNA: we want to support a diverse, creative and exceptional team. To employers looking to retain more women in the workplace. Hire more senior women, make the changes at the top. Look for women in minor roles that can be promoted to achieve bigger and better things; pushing your company, and your colleagues forward. Create smaller teams that allow for creativity, flexibility and autonomy. Nurture your people, and you’ll nurture women.
