Withers & Sloane and Our Commitment to Crafting Brands with Purpose

At Withers & Sloane, we believe in the power of strategic, creative storytelling. Our work spans branding, marketing, and content creation, with a focus on elevating organisations that make a impact that can be clearly measured.

Whether we’re refining visual identities, sharpening messaging, or creating compelling digital content, our goal is clear. We translate the essence of a business into a brand that truly resonates. We work across industries, but only work with organisations with a quality offer.

One of the key elements of brand storytelling is strong, professional photography. High-quality imagery shapes the perception of an organisation, setting the tone for everything from websites to marketing materials and social media. That’s why we collaborate with expert photographers who understand the power of visual identity.

Experts by both experience and achievement. That is why we partner with Poppy Hollis.

Collaborating with Poppy Hollis

Poppy Hollis is the Creative Lead at Withers & Sloane and an exceptional photographer. Her work is defined by a keen eye for detail, an ability to bring out the best in her subjects, and a commitment to ensuring every shot aligns with a brand’s identity. Her photography isn’t just about capturing an image; it’s about telling a story. And, telling it with deep conviction. As such, she has been featured in publications such as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue Italia and has worked on High-end fashion houses such as BVLGARI.

We’ve worked with Poppy across multiple projects, and her expertise continues to elevate our collaborations. Her approach is a seamless blend of technical precision and creative intuition, ensuring that every shoot delivers results that exceed expectations.

When our esteemed client Eleventh Hour Group needed headshots and office photography to reflect their professionalism, warmth, and dedication, Poppy was the obvious choice.

The Expertise of Poppy Hollis

Poppy’s portfolio spans an impressive range of industries, with clients including leading brands, non-profits, and social enterprises. She has worked with national organisations, capturing everything from high-profile corporate headshots to dynamic campaign photography. Her ability to put people at ease, read a room, and bring a team’s energy to life in a still image is what sets her apart.

For EHG, this was crucial.

EHG's work requires trust, empathy, and a deep understanding of people, and Poppy ensured these qualities came through in every shot. The result was a collection of images that are both professional and authentic, highlighting the individuals behind the organisation and the shared sense of purpose that drives them.

The Energy and Dedication of the EHG Team

Eleventh Hour Group is a team committed to excellence. Their work in care, supporting children, young people, and adults with complex needs, is essential. The dedication they bring to their roles is reflected not just in their services, but in the way they present themselves as professionals.

From the moment we stepped into their space for the shoot, the enthusiasm and camaraderie were clear. The team engaged fully with the process, bringing an openness and warmth that translated effortlessly into the final images. This wasn’t just about headshots; it was about showcasing the people who make EHG what it is.

A particular highlight was the involvement of their CEO (who should really consider a career in the Creative Sector because his eye for aesthetic is exceptional). His leadership and commitment to the organisation are always evident, and truly shone throughout the day. His ability to balance professionalism with a genuine passion for EHG’s mission set the tone for the shoot. His energy was contagious, making the process not just smooth but enjoyable for everyone involved.

The Importance of Strong Visual Identity

In a sector where trust is paramount, first impressions matter. A well-crafted visual identity helps reinforce credibility, professionalism, and approachability. For EHG, having a suite of high-quality images ensures that their team is represented in a way that aligns with their values and mission.

This shoot was more than a branding exercise; it was an opportunity to showcase the real people behind the organisation. The resulting images will be used across EHG’s website, marketing materials, and social media, helping to build connections with both clients and partners.

A Committed Collaboration

The success of this shoot was down to the combined efforts of a committed team.

Poppy’s expertise, EHG’s engagement, and Withers & Sloane match-pitching the energy all contributed to an outcome that will have a lasting impact on EHG’s brand presence.

We’re proud to have facilitated this collaboration and grateful for the opportunity to work with organisations and individuals who share our commitment to quality and purpose-driven work. A huge thank you to Poppy for her outstanding photography and to the EHG team for their enthusiasm and professionalism.

We look forward to seeing how these images support EHG in continuing to excel with a quality-first, people-centric offer of excellence!
