For family businesses ready to grow

You didn't build this
to spend Sunday nights
firefighting.

PR&Co is a boutique growth partnership for family-run UK businesses turning £500k–£5M. We built what we wished existed — strategy, AI, and marketing that actually works outside of a boardroom.

🔁

Most marketing advice is built for startups. You're not a startup. You're a proper business with history, reputation, and a team who depends on you.

🧠

AI isn't just for tech companies. The family businesses that figure this out now are the ones that are still standing in 10 years.

🤝

You don't need another agency. You need someone who actually gives a damn — and knows how the real world works outside the M25.

💷

Growth shouldn't cost a full-time salary. PR&Co gives you the expertise of a marketing director and an operations strategist — for less than one hire.

Who We Are

Two people who've actually done it

PR&Co — Plummer & Read — isn't an agency. There are no account managers, no junior teams, no people being briefed on your business by someone else. It's just us.

We built what we wished existed. Between us, we've run businesses, managed teams, built brands from scratch, and watched what happens when good companies don't get the right support at the right time. That's exactly why we started this.

We work with a small number of businesses at a time so we can actually care. We're not trying to build an empire. We're trying to do really good work with people we like.

Family businesses deserve better than generic advice from people who've never had to make payroll. We get it, because we've been there.

Lauren
Sales, Strategy & AI

Built and scaled an ecommerce brand from scratch. Understands the full commercial picture — from getting customers through the door to making the numbers work. Leads on sales, growth strategy, and finding the AI tools that actually save you time.

Britt
Social Media & Delivery

The engine behind the scenes. Britt turns strategy into content, systems, and results — managing social, keeping delivery on track, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks while you're running your business.

What We Do

Not everything. Just the things that actually move the needle.

We work across three areas: getting you visible, getting you organised, and getting you ready for what's coming. Everything is tailored to your business — there are no templates here.

01
Modern Marketing

Brand strategy, social media, email marketing, paid ads — done properly, with a clear goal. Not just activity for the sake of activity. We only do what makes commercial sense for your business at this stage.

02
AI Integration

We find the parts of your business that are eating your time — and help you automate them. Not in a scary, replace-everyone way. In a "you get your evenings back" way. Real tools, real results, no jargon.

03
Growth Strategy

Honest, clear strategy built around where you actually want to take this thing. We'll challenge assumptions, find the gaps, and give you a roadmap you can actually follow — not a 40-page deck that gathers dust.

Know Your Type

Every family business owner we've ever met falls into one of these five types.

Each one has a different challenge. Each one needs a different kind of help. Which one are you?

🔥
The Firefighter

Always reactive. Never gets to the important stuff because the urgent stuff never stops.

🏗️
The Founder

Still doing everything themselves. Can't let go. The business is them — and that's become the bottleneck.

🙈
The Ostrich

Knows things need to change but hoping it sorts itself out. Spoiler: it won't.

🤹
The Juggler

Keeping all the plates spinning. Somehow. But one wobble away from something dropping.

🤝
The Loyalist

So committed to their team and customers that they put their own business health last.

Take the 2-minute quiz to find out exactly which type you are — and what that means for how you should approach growth. (It's more useful than it sounds. Promise.)

Free. No catch. Genuinely.

We'll look at your website like a potential customer would.

Then we'll tell you the 3 things that made us hesitate — and how to fix them yourself, today, for nothing.

No tools. No bots. Just us actually looking at your site and being straight with you.

Family business owners only.

Drop your website and we'll come back to you within 48 hours with three honest things.

No pitch. No follow-up emails. Just three honest things.

How It Works

No lengthy onboarding. No fuss.

We keep it simple. Four stages, clear milestones, no surprises. You'll know what's happening and why at every step.

1
The Conversation

We start with a proper chat — no pitch, no agenda. Just getting to know your business and figuring out whether we're the right fit for each other.

2
The Diagnosis

A focused session where we dig into what's working, what isn't, and what's holding you back. You'll leave with clarity even if you don't become a client.

3
The Roadmap

Based on what we find, we build a 90-day plan. Specific, prioritised, commercially sound. This is where the work gets real.

4
The Partnership

Ongoing monthly support — strategy, execution, accountability. We work alongside you, not just for you. Think of us as your off-site growth team.

Pricing

Transparent pricing. No surprises.

We put our prices on the website because we think you deserve to know what things cost before you pick up the phone. Life's too short for time-wasting.

Questions

The stuff people actually ask us

Are you an agency? +
No, and we'd be a bit offended if you called us one. We're a partnership — two people who genuinely work with you rather than an account team that hands your business to a junior. You'll always deal directly with Lauren and Britt, from the first conversation to the last deliverable.
We're not very "digital." Is that a problem? +
Honestly? It's kind of the point. Most of our clients didn't grow their business by being digital natives — they grew it by being good at what they do. That's what we work with. We meet you where you are and move at a pace that actually works for your team.
What kinds of businesses do you work with? +
Family-run businesses turning between £500k and £5M, based in the UK. We work across sectors — manufacturing, retail, trade, hospitality, professional services. What matters isn't what you sell, it's where you are in the journey. You've got a business that works. You want it to work better.
How quickly can we get started? +
We can usually have an initial conversation within a week, and be properly up and running within two to three weeks of agreeing to work together. No six-month onboarding. No 80-slide strategy presentation that takes three months to produce. We're fast, but we're thorough.
What if it's not working? +
We work month to month, so you're never locked in. If it's not the right fit, we'd rather you tell us than stay out of obligation. We're not going to chase you or make it awkward. Good relationships are more important to us than retaining a client we're not serving well.
Do I have to be on every social media platform? +
Absolutely not. One of the first things we do is figure out where your customers actually are — and we focus there. Trying to be everywhere usually means being good nowhere. We'd rather nail two channels than half-heartedly do five.
Let's Talk

Fancy a chat?
Friend to friend. No pitch.

Seriously — no pressure, no agenda, no slide deck. Just a proper conversation about where your business is and where you want it to go. If we can help, we'll tell you how. If we can't, we'll tell you that too.

Or just email us directly: hello@prandco.co.uk
