How it all started
In 2020, amid the global pandemic, LoudLocal came to life. Its founders, Leon and Priya, faced the common predicament of unemployment during these challenging times. Leon, an experienced marketer with a fervour for digital strategies, and Priya, a relationship manager who had worked with prestigious blue-chip companies, decided to take control of their destiny. They combined their diverse skill sets and embarked on a mission to provide comprehensive support to businesses nationwide.
During this period, the business landscape underwent a profound transformation. As numerous enterprises adapted to offer their services online and countless new ventures emerged, digital approaches became standard practice for millions of businesses across the UK. Online marketing underwent a permanent change, with major search engines prioritising personalised and localised results. This shift presented an opportunity for businesses with a local presence to stand out.
However, despite this opportunity for businesses with local or multi-location presence, the options were extremely limited, if not non-existent. Recognising this gap in the market, Leon and Priya set out to create a service that would not only assist these businesses in navigating the digital terrain but also empower them to thrive. Thus, LoudLocal was born.
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders: Our Journey of Growth and Client Success
Fast forward to the present day, and we have evolved into a well-established business, comprising a team of experienced marketers and digital enthusiasts. Our expertise spans multiple disciplines, and we proudly serve a diverse range of businesses across the globe, regardless of their size, with comprehensive digital solutions.
In 2021, we opened our inaugural office, marking a significant milestone in our journey. Building upon our success, we recently expanded our operations with the opening of a second office in the heart of London in 2023.
As our team continues to grow, we remain committed to attracting and nurturing top talent, ensuring we stay ahead of the curve. Our knowledge of the digital landscape and its significance for local businesses is constantly expanding, as we actively keep pace with industry advancements.
At LoudLocal, we have cultivated a reputation for going above and beyond for our clients. Our collaborative approach shines through in every interaction, and many businesses perceive us as an indispensable extension of their own team. By working diligently, weathering challenges together, and most importantly, translating knowledge into action, we have earned the status of one of the most highly regarded digital marketing agencies in the UK. Our ever-growing client base consistently rates us as one of the best in the industry.

Leon Hidderley
Digital Marketing Director
A digital marketer who is so old that he was around when MySpace was THE social network to be on. He is known for dad jokes, singing out loud in the workplace and telling stories from his many years walking the planet. If you work in the same office as him, noise-cancelling headphones are the order of the day. Also quite good at digital marketing, having worked in it before people even knew it was a thing!
Priya Pandit
Commercial Director
Priya is a professional Project Manager, Relationship Manager, Commercial Director, Mentor, Mother of four (if you count their dogs, Milo and Nala), and the list goes on. Priya has helped many businesses manage change, improve processes and efficiencies. She is always there to help and loves speaking to people, making her a great Relationship Manager.
Michael Wimbury
Assistant Marketing Manager
Michael is a Digital Marketer that Specialises in Search Engine Optimisation. Prior to working for LoudLocal, he studied marketing with the Digital Marketing Institute. Some know him as Poker Face - often unexpressive, apparently didn’t smile as a baby! If you make him laugh, you should probably pursue a career in stand-up comedy. He is great at listening, but speaking takes a little more concentration.
Toby Tonks
Assistant Marketing Manager
Coming from an artistic background, Toby has been helping design websites and logos for our clients since he joined us in 2021. When not doing something creative, Toby enjoys playing video games, seeing live music, and spending time in nature. A self-proclaimed night owl, his favourite part of working at LoudLocal is the 10 am start and our office's coffee machine!
Tanya Hidderley
Marketing Assistant
Tanya writes blogs, has a role in social media management and has started to dive into Search Engine Optimisation. A day in the office is always exciting with Tanya around and her hilarious comments about life in general. She tends to talk a lot, but luckily she can multitask! Tanya loves listening to music whilst in the office and often forgets other people in the office want to listen to other music.
Mia Gardner
Marketing Assistant
Mia has a creative flair and since starting earlier this year, has got involved in various in-house tasks like branding and social media. As she is relatively new to the working world, she is always learning additional things, such as Search Engine Optimisation, to add to her skill set to bring to her role and the team.
Deveny Broadhurst
Marketing Assistant
Deveny has a keen eye for graphic design and creative media. She takes on a range of responsibilities, from client website design to internal branding. She is a valued team member who lights up the room with her bubbly personality. She also has incredible music taste, so expect to hear some good songs when she's in!
Amelia Perkins
Marketing Executive
Amelia is a digital marketing executive; when she's not designing social posts, she's a keen cake decorator and dog trainer. For someone who hates to work in silence, LoudLocal is the perfect office for her, with music all day!
Nadine Hummert
Client Relationship Manager
Nadine has a background in Corporate Marketing and speaks five languages, making her the ideal person to support Priya, communicate with our clients, and make sure everything is going well for them. Nadine also owns two businesses that are both focused on supporting people and our planet. Her calming mindset supports everyone in the office, ensuring you can always talk to her about any stress or worries, as she’ll boost your mood in seconds! She was born in the 70s, raved in the 90s, and loves to play her upbeat music in the office, making everyone want to dance!
Taya Randall-Grao
Marketing Executive
Taya joined us in 2022 as a digital marketing assistant, diving into all things creative. After a year of backpacking around Southeast Asia, she's back with the team on a freelance basis. Now, she gets to make the beach her office while continuing to bring her creative magic to LoudLocal.
Milo
Office Cleaner
Hide your lunch; it's our office cleaner! Milo keeps the office floor spotless (and the desks, if you're not careful). He loves spending time with people and likes being fussed over. When he's not cleaning the office, Milo gets ecstatic when taken on long walks and loves to roll around in the mud or mucky water!
Nala
Toy Chewer
Nala is the baby of our team. She is tiny and can hide in the smallest spaces whilst watching the panic that ensues as people desperately try to locate her. She spends most of the day mauling her favourite chew toy...Milo. Despite her small stature, she is able to reach extraordinary heights (like shelves), don't ask how as we don't know.
