Working with us

Mackman is a busy boutique agency with the unifying strapline 'together we grow'. It’s been with us since the day we launched and reflects the relationships that our agency has with clients, suppliers, colleagues and the wider community. It is the blend of our talented team combined with a ‘can do’ attitude and thirst for best practice that is at the heart of our success.

A dynamic environment

Working in an agency is hard work, deadlines are tight and targets demanding, but it makes for a dynamic environment. We do our best to make the work as enjoyable as we can and working agency side is rarely dull. You need to be a team player because we all need a helping hand sometimes, especially when priorities or deadlines change. You can be sure that working at Mackman will grow your skill set and develop you as an individual.

Social time

We have regular staff socials, at least we used to before Covid which has made that harder. There is a summer social which normally includes freshly made pizza, salads and a BBQ in our garden. At Christmas we naturally all go out together and sometimes drink and eat too much. There are other excuses to go out together like gigs or celebrations.

Balancing work with time for you

Everyone gets an extra day off on their birthday courtesy of the business. We expect everyone to work hard but don’t expect anyone to work unreasonable hours. We also don’t contact staff outside of work hours. We have people working from home and in the office and take a flexible approach to individual needs.

Some of the benefits

We are a modern family orientated firm that looks after our employees and are respectful. It’s about how we treat people not just the benefits, but here are some of them:

Flexible working
Regular team building and staff socials
Time out of the office to give blood
Generous holiday allowance - 20 days off plus 8 bank holidays
Extra day off on your birthday
Bonus days off for Christmas shut down
Company contributed pension scheme
Ongoing training delivered via a personal development plan

RECRUITMENT AGENCIES

We politely request that we are not contacted by recruitment agencies. No offence intended, but high volumes of speculative calls from agencies negatively impact upon the efficiency of our business. Please help us to maintain the highest levels of customer service by respecting our wishes.

Professional Services

Holmes & Hills is a leading law firm with five offices across Essex and Suffolk. With a unique approach to working with and understanding their clients, the firm acts as a trusted advisor.
