Our aim is to demystify Ethereum on a larger scale, show blockchain’s business value and lead the charge in best practices for the tokenised economy.”
James Beck, PR at ConsenSys: “The Lorries showed an outstanding level of commitment, knowledge and energy in our RFP process. They provided a comprehensive plan that was in line with our own expectations and was flexible enough to accommodate our goals in a creative way.

They’re a really innovative company and it’s a significant win for us in the blockchain space – especially as it adds to our growing client roster working with our Berlin team.”
