Middlesbrough-based agency Colehouse is downscaling after a remote period. Boss Steven Cole says he is lucky creative industries already have the tools they need to operate remotely, but thinks the best way forward is through a hybrid office approach. He said: At the time of going remote it felt obvious we were heading into another lockdown, and I think everyone knew Christmas would cause issues that would spiral into the new year, so it made sense practically. But sometimes nothing quite replaces being in the same room together. I don’t believe it is sustainable for us to maintain 100 per cent remote.
