Proof, not promises
Real names, real towns. Every one of these is work Steve did himself, and several are written up in full on the case studies page.
Market Harborough in particular
Harborough businesses tend to want design that looks like it was thought about rather than designed at. That is a much harder brief than making something shout, and it is the reason every job here starts on paper with a Pantone fan rather than in a template.

The difference
Most agencies put an account manager between you and the person doing the work. There isn't one here, because there is only Steve.
The person who takes your brief is the person setting the type three weeks later. Nothing gets handed down to a junior at the point it gets interesting.
Bleed, trim, spot versus process, and which idea dies on an uncoated stock. Files land at your printer right the first time.
Half an hour down the A6 — close enough for a first meeting in person, which is usually how these start. You can meet him, and he answers his own phone when you ring about it.
In their words
“Steve took the brief and produced a set of designs across all marketing formats, from socials to print materials, that exceeded all expectations. He's a pleasure to work with but more importantly, he produces high quality work.”
“He worked with us to understand the scope, offered advice, utilised our colours and branding and produced work that showcased our company fantastically — leading to both enquiries and sales.”

Common questions
A good deal of the work is for accountants, solicitors and financial advisers — sectors where the branding has to carry regulatory small print without looking like a form.
Logo packages run from £160 to £500. A full identity with guidelines, stationery and print is quoted properly against what you actually need rather than sold as a package.
Yes. Cartons and labels drawn to the cutter guide, so what comes back from the printer is what you approved on screen.
