Owner and managing director Alex is an enthusiastic, driven and talented individual (and no, he didn't write this!) who is passionate about detail and design; dedicated to providing an amazing level of service in this impersonal, unaccountable, pass-the-buck, never-calls-back world. 11 years ago, Alex had a vision to provide SMEs with high end design at a down to earth cost, whilst also providing larger enterprises with a more personal and better value service than they would get from a London agency, with no compromise on quality.

With over 20 years experience in design, marketing and advertising he has a wealth of knowledge and a great way of implementing it. They say, if you want to get something done, ask a busy person...well Alex is that person!.

Belinda and Alex started the business together back in 1999 which was run as a successful partnership until the birth of their first child in 2003, when they realised that help was needed and took on their first employee. Belinda's previous career involved key roles in several graphic design and printing businesses over 15 years. Nowadays she manages accounts and business development.
