The Right Brands,
In The Right Hands.
About Us
In 2009 our founder Rob was completing a 125 mile charity walk with work colleagues. They passed the time talking about their “top 5’s”, top 5 England goals, top 5 holiday destinations, top 5 quotes and eventually top 5 brands. To their surprise many of the brands mentioned were unknown to the other colleagues. The discussion moved onto how exciting young brands can get noticed, achieve stellar growth and reach their goals, often on limited budgets.
That conversation was the seed, that grew into an idea, that became our sales and marketing agency, Top5. Top5 was formed by Rob Flanagan in 2010 and his fellow partners now include Rupert Farquharson and Becky Flanagan.
