Parker Design have always offered us a first class service with fast turnaround from brief to initial concepts, through to finished art and print. Their grasp of the business is very good, which makes briefing easy and the quality of designs and concepts is always fresh and original.
On working with Parkers for the first time, I was delighted with the whole experience. They worked in a very thorough and intuitive manner, delivering the campaign in an extremely short timescale. Following launch, the board commented very favourably on the campaign, and was delighted with the response. I will be working with them again soon!
Ambassador have worked with Parker Design for many years and always meet the requirements of the a brief with both their creativity and quality of design. Parker Design have produced our award winning website, catalogues, direct mail, and exhibition equipment for us and always deliver on time meeting some very tight deadlines.
It's a real pleasure to work with Parker Design. Nothing is too much trouble and 'going the extra mile' is part of the service. They're pro-active, provide creative solutions, do whatever is needed to meet tight deadlines and work within the agreed budget, to produce a quality product. I would recommend Parker Design to anyone.
We find it tremendously efficient working with Parker Design. Having direct access to their friendly team of designers, with no account handlers, means that we can maximise our marketing spend on actual design. Not only that, they excel in the creative stakes and consistently deliver a first class service that we have come to rely on, sometimes against very tight deadlines.
Parker Design have helped us to update and harmonise our brand image through the redesign of our packaging and promotional items. They listened carefully to our design brief and, taking account of both our sales and production requirements, produced innovative, creative, and feasible ideas.
You're bloody brilliant you are!!
Creative, reliable and knowledgeable, Parker Design consistently produce quality solutions to any brief we put their way, be it for brochures, ad campaigns, websites or exhibitions. They provide an excellent all round service and I can always rely on them to deliver on time, against the tightest of deadlines.
For many years Parker Design has provided ICI in the North West region with successful creative solutions to support much of its communication activity. This work has ranged from the design and production of newsletters and literature, to electronic presentations. The service provided is efficient and courteous and the staff have continued to effectively interpret a brief.
Parker Design are a friendly team of committed and reliable designers. They always listen to what we need and their creative ideas demonstrate a genuine understanding of our business and our customer base. The end results are always good quality and deadlines are always met.
We have used Parker Design on corporate, web, literature and store design projects. Parker have provided a super service, great designs produced under very tight time constraints. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
We have thrown pretty much everything at Parker Design over the past six months, from fast turnaround report covers to developing innovative exhibitions and their response has been consistently enthusiastic, creative, helpful and always on time.
Having never exhibited before, CJR Services needed an agency who knew the ropes and could not only design and build a great stand, but walk them through the whole process. The brief was to create a stand which helped launch their new brand and put them on the map. This was achieved by incorporating an interactive 'Buzz Wire' competition, a refreshments bar, a meeting area and a store room – all in a 21sqm stand! The show was a huge success for CRJ and they will be back next year.
Following their successful show in Milan earlier this year, Galaxy Optical approached us again to build their stand in Paris, only this time bigger and better at 84sqm. Developing the theme we created for Milan, we adapted the stand to include new Galaxy brand, Dunlop. The stand showcased their ranges of eyewear and sunglasses and created a real stir with the crowds. We've gone back to the drawing board now to design them a brand new stand for Milan 2011 – watch this space!
Having exhibited for over 12 years, Aries Pensions Ltd wanted to do something completely different at this years NPAF Annual Conference, held at Manchester Central (GMEX). In a move away from their usual Shell Scheme approach, their brief to us was to build a stand inspired by TV's Dragon's Den. Using the services of a trained 'spotter' and professional presenter, they invited visiting delegates into the den to act out the role of Dragons. Manchester exhibition design continued...
Inverness wanted to shake things up a bit at the IBMS conference, and give visitors to their stand an experience they wouldn't forget! We created a real sense of intrigue by designing this striking enclosed stand with controlled entry points and slatted side walls to allow visitors just a peek at what was going on inside. Exhibition design for Lab Fab continued...
Gigolo Menswear are a small niche fashion store with a 25 year history based in Northwich, but when it comes to their ecommerce presence, they are anything but small. Stocking top brands such Superdry, Firetrap, Base London & Lacoste, Gigolo Menswear have gone from strength to strength and have aspirations to be a top online fashion provider. Parker Design implemented the powerful Magento application backed with php, CSS, MySql, Sagepay, SSL, love and care.
After launching the new Home Bargains website earlier this year the company decided they wanted to use it to help combat in store crime. Shoplifting is a significant problem, costing Home Bargains around £6 million annually. As creators and managers of the website Parker Design added the Crime Busters section containing CCTV images of people Home Bargains would like to speak to. The launch caused quite a stir with the media and resulted in a 46% increase in site traffic.
After qualifying in Technical Graphics, I cut my teeth in the design industry working for several well known advertising agencies in London. Returning to Cheshire in the early 90's without a job I decided to set up on my own. Now, as well as being the MD of Parker Design, I'm still a hands on designer and get a massive kick working on creative projects and have a passion for 'big ideas'.
On qualifying I ran an in-house design service for 5yrs, before becoming studio manager of an ad agency for a further 3. I joined Andi in '98, subsequently being made Director in '04. I get a huge buzz from good design and an even bigger buzz from exceeding client's expectations. When adrenaline levels dip I've been known to snowboard, surf and occasionally front a rock band!
After graduating I worked in London and ran an in-house studio for a PR agency for six years. My design passion is for great concepts and strong branding, and I really enjoy building and nurturing great relationships with clients. Outside of work I spend my time trying to be Super Nanny and Nigella Lawson rolled into one, when that doesn't work I grab my trainers and go for a run instead.
With 13 years design experience and 9 years web and multimedia experience my majority role is as a web designer and Flash developer. I also turn my hand to illustration and animation.
Outside of the studio I enjoy snowboarding, cinema and cooking, but the main thing for me is bikes... building, riding or repairing, I don't really mind!
I began pixelpushin as a freelancer before landing my first fulltime job in Chester & then moving to bigger things over in Manchester. I get a kick from producing initial logo concepts & brand rollout across various applications, anything from web to tattoos. Aside from the day job I enjoy anything with an element of danger, 4 wheels good 2 even better.
After graduating in Fine Art & Computer Science, I joined University of Chester as Web, Design & Publications Manager and was headhunted by a blue chip company. I ran my own design firm for over six years but was lured back to the rat race as Creative Director before searching for a more demanding role. In my spare time I produce graphic art, my own music and run the Funkdub club night.
There are no positions available at the moment.

Once inside the stand, visitors were treated to an hilarious spoof fashion show entitled Lab Fab. Sending up laboratory fashion, or the lack thereof, we designed and had made 22 comedy lab coats ranging from Chav-Lab to Gangsta-Lab. The show was compared by a professional Patsy (Ab Fab) and Brüno impersonators, with Inverness's own marketing team doing the modelling! The fun element of the stand was complemented with more serious messages, promoting the full range of Inverness products through wall graphics and a quiz. Not only did the stand get Inverness noticed, it became the talking point of the show – in fact it was so popular they had to frequently close the stand due to overcrowding!
Working in a fairly tight area of 3x4m we designed and built this modular set. Together with authentic props, piles of fake cash and dramatic lighting, visitors to the stand really felt like 'Dragons' as they were invited to sit in the famous chairs and listen to Aries' pitch.
The stand has been constructed in such a way so as to allow it to be reconfigured for future shows. Whatever industry you are in, if you've a service or product to sell, this is a great way to get your company noticed and more importantly remembered! If you fancy having your very own den at your next show, just give us a call!
