FOUNDER & CEO
Andrew Heppinstall
Founder, strategist, and the one who answers when you call
Andrew founded Unavoidable Marketing (originally Validus Media) back in 2012 with one aim: build a UK agency that treats trades, dental and service businesses the way they'd expect any good tradesperson to treat them - honestly, on time, and without a lot of clever talk.
14+ years and 390+ projects later, he's still the one on every discovery call. If you sign with us, you're signing with him.
"I'd rather turn work down than pass it off to someone who doesn't care. That's why I'm still on every strategy call - if it's not right for you, I want to be the one to say so."
THE WIDER TEAM
Specialists in their own right
Small on purpose. Every person here owns their discipline and works directly with the clients they help - no faceless "team of 40" you never actually meet.
Rory Flynn
Head of SEO
Runs local and technical SEO for our trades and dental clients. Nine years in, still gets excited about a well-earned map-pack listing.
Bethany Jackson
Paid Ads Manager
Google, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns built around real return on ad spend. Won't chase vanity clicks or make you sit through a "brand awareness" pitch.
Claire Long
Lead Designer
Designs websites that convert first and impress second. Believes a great trades site should look sharp on a builder's cracked phone screen.
RB
Ryan Blackwood
Senior Developer
Builds fast, secure WordPress sites without the plugin bloat. If it can be done cleanly in code, that's how Ryan will do it.
LT
Lucy Thompson
Social Media Manager
Writes, shoots and schedules content that actually sounds like you - not agency copy that could be about anyone.
JO
James O'Connor
Content & Copy Lead
Writes blogs, landing pages and service copy that ranks and reads like a human wrote it - because one did.
Loki
Head of Quality Control
Border collie, so technically overqualified. Attends every Zoom from the good chair, snores loudly through the boring bits, and heads straight for whoever needs a cuddle.
WHAT UNITES US
How we work, and why
Four things every single person on this team signs up to when they join.
We only take work we can deliver
If we're not confident we can move the needle for you, we'll tell you before you sign anything - not six months in.
We answer the phone
Real people, working hours. No chatbot maze, no "your enquiry has been received" auto-reply, no waiting three days for a callback.
Flat fees, honest reporting
No percentage of ad spend. No inflated hours. You see the raw numbers every month - what worked, what didn't, what's next.
You get the founder
Andrew is on every strategy call, not just the sales pitch. If you need a decision made, you can reach the person who can make it.
Want to join the team?
We hire specialists, not generalists. If you're the kind of person who wants to own a discipline and work directly with the clients you help, we'd love to hear from you - even when we're not actively recruiting.
