We’re Celebrating 40 Years of Design Workshop!

This year, we’re thrilled to be celebrating a huge milestone - 40 years of creative design and marketing solutions from our Hull-based agency.

Over the years, our journey has been shaped by creativity, collaboration and a drive to deliver results that make a difference. Every project is an opportunity to think differently, find new perspectives and resonate with audiences. Whether it’s crafting standout campaigns or building engaging websites, we’ve always focused on delivering solutions that make an impact.

“It’s a proud moment for us,” says our Managing Director Ian Croney. “To have stood the test of time for four decades is a testament to our ability to evolve and adapt in a rapidly changing world. The one thing that has remained consistent throughout is our commitment to serving our clients and reacting quickly to their evolving business needs. The team here is second to none, with a great balance of experience and new ideas, all pulling together in the same direction. I’ve been with the business since 2001, and while I head the business today, credit for our success is also due to previous directors Paul Revell and David Mitchell.”

We’ve been fortunate to work with some incredible clients along the way, including Reckitt, Heron Foods, Ideal Standard and ABI, delivering everything from web development and graphic design services to digital marketing, email campaigns, social media management and copywriting.

Reflecting on our journey, our Director James McWilliam adds, “Since 1984, we have embraced and mastered all the major revolutions in our industry. We started with old-school drawing boards, art pens, enlargement cameras and Letraset for reproduction and print. Over time, we transitioned to digital design software on Macs and adapted to the rise of the internet. We became experts in photo and video editing, website development, smartphones, social media and now AI technology. Our goal has always been to help clients achieve their marketing objectives, no matter what the discipline requires.

Over our 40-year journey, we have supported a variety of markets and teamed up with incredible individuals and companies, many of whom remain loyal clients to this day. As we celebrate our anniversary, we reflect on our successes, raise a toast to our clients past and present, and look forward to what the next 40 years will bring!”

As we celebrate our 40th, we want to thank all our clients, partners and team members who’ve been part of our journey. Here’s to the next 40 years!
