Work-Life Balance
The DB records Never Dull as a 4-day-week, 32-hour-per-week employer. The company's public site does not publish a dedicated benefits or careers page that confirms this directly — the schedule policy is a curated DB attribute. Per the enrich-company protocol, the schedule_type is a protected field and is retained as-is; the description here does not introduce specific 4-day-week claims that are not corroborated by the company's own /about or / pages.
Perks and Benefits
The public site doesn't publish a benefits inventory, and the DB has 11 cookie-cutter NULL-labeled benefit rows from the add-company initial seed. Without a JD or careers page to corroborate specifics, those rows should be removed; only the operating-model attributes that are directly evidenced from public sources should remain.
What the /about page DOES disclose, verbatim, as services and operating model:
- Services delivered: Discovery Sessions, Audience Insights, Focus/Working Groups, Brand Positioning, Brand Identities, Verbal identities, Motion Graphics & Animation, Website Design, Social Media
- Approach: connect-first; audience strategy + insights + trend analysis + co-production + behavioural psychology

- Press visibility across major UK and global design + creative outlets (Guardian, Dezeen, Fast Company, BBC, etc.)
No benefits inventory beyond the work-arrangement attributes already recorded in DB structured fields.
