Hi. We're Emily and Alan. And we're very glad you found us.

We're the humans behind Yellow Tuxedo — online visibility specialists who genuinely, unashamedly, cannot stop talking about this stuff. Not because we have to. Because we actually love it.

Our story...

Between us we've managed multi-million pound Lottery funded projects, helped outdoor events businesses achieve national success, appeared on BBC and ITV This Morning, and been part of the team that brought Best Buy and Geek Squad from America to the UK.

In 2012, when Alan stepped off the plane from our honeymoon and got made redundant — we took the leap into self employment and built two successful outdoor events businesses. For years we grew them online and helped others in our industry do the same.

And we kept noticing the same thing. Small business owners are brilliant at what they do. But this whole online world? It's noisy, confusing, and full of people telling you what to do without ever explaining how.

So in 2019 we launched Yellow Tuxedo. Because we thoroughly believe that in a sea of black and grey, every business deserves to stand out and be a bit more yellow.

MEET EMILY

The forensic brain behind the audit. The one who actually gets things done.

Emily brings a rare combination of creative thinking and analytical precision. With a degree in Media and English from Winchester and a background managing multi-million pound Lottery funded projects for the Forestry Commission, she's always been the person who takes the big idea and makes it real.
At 16 she sat the national MENSA challenge [rolled out to every school in the UK] and finished in the top 3% of the country. So yes, the audits are that thorough.
Emily is Google accredited, an ongoing learner with serious CPD commitment, and a Heartbeat.chat preferred partner. Mum of three, school governor, Scout chairperson, and the creator of Being Mrs B on TikTok. She's also led several expeditions to Malawi, most recently taking a group of women in business, because she genuinely believes that stepping outside your comfort zone changes everything.
Her favourite colour is green. Yes. At Yellow Tuxedo. We know.

MEET ALAN

The big picture thinker with Ted Lasso energy and an actual world record.

Alan started as a field engineer at Fujitsu before joining the Carphone Warehouse umbrella, where he was part of the team that brought Best Buy and Geek Squad from America to the UK and led the brand and culture training rollout to staff across the country.
These days he's the creative engine of Yellow Tuxedo. The one with the big ideas and the ability to look at your entire online ecosystem from the outside and immediately spot what's missing. He's an accredited MailerLite partner, a Heartbeat.chat preferred partner, and the reason Emily is always busy.
Scout leader. Ultramarathon runner. Adventurer to the core. Lover of the Mountains. Food obsessive. And, this is completely true, was a holder of a world record for the world's longest toilet roll chain. We're not making that up.
About Alan Braithwaite from Yellow Tuxedo the online visibility specialists

TOGETHER

An independent, purpose-driven, slightly ridiculous team with an 84% motivation score.

We took our motivational maps recently-  because of course we did! The results confirmed what we already knew: we're both driven by autonomy, meaning and making a genuine difference. Neither of us is doing this for recognition or status. We're doing it because we genuinely believe every business deserves to be found online.
