We’re excited and delighted to share that Storycatchers has been reappointed to Network Rail’s strategic agency framework, continuing a rewarding partnership that began in 2020.

Over the past five years we’ve had the opportunity to work with so many talented, passionate people across Network Rail on a range of internal and external communications challenges, many of them centred on complex behaviour change.

Work like this benefits from time – the chance to build strong relationships, immerse yourself in the context and develop a really deep understanding for the audiences involved. Being reappointed means we can continue building on that foundation, and we’re really excited to get stuck in to what’s next.

Andy Hayward, co-founder and Creative Director at Storycatchers, said: “We’re proud to be reappointed. As a smaller agency, opportunities like this really matter because they give us the chance to prove that impact isn’t about size – it’s about insight, creativity and the ability to connect with people. Frameworks like this don’t always favour smaller agencies, so when they do it’s a real opportunity to demonstrate what we can deliver.”

We know that we punch well above our weight when it comes to the depth and quality of our thinking, so hats off to the procurement team at Network Rail for living and breathing the government’s stated ambition to support small, independent businesses.

Lisa Giles, Account Director, said: “It’s such good news. Our work with Network Rail has seen us travel the length and breadth of the country, meeting dozens of colleagues and really getting under the skin of the extraordinary work it takes to keep the UK’s rail network moving. It’s been a rewarding, eye-opening adventure and I’m so pleased we get to continue on it – there are so many more stories to catch!”
