English term or phrase: light on our feet

We are very proud to be a highly profitable company, which comes with hard work and dedication. Our people are professional, conscientious and results oriented. Whilst now a relatively large organisation, we can still react quickly to market pressures and customer demands in order to stay a step ahead of the competition so we are light on our feet, have a flexible attitude and very importantly a good sense of humour!

TIA
