Atla and Our Team
In Norse mythology, Atla is the goddess of water, and the name has been historically used to describe the characteristics of the sea and the symbolism of water, which has universal undertones of purity and cleanness. On an Island where the sea and water dominate many parts of our lives, we strive to bring the characteristics of water – namely clarity and simplicity – to our clients’ personal and professional lives.
Our focus has always been on moving and adapting with our clients and the environments in which they do business. It’s what keeps us growing.
Whether training our team to become experts in their field to having events to bring together like-minded professionals and entrepreneurs, by staying close, we’ve been able to give our services context in a world that’s constantly changing.
