New Designer
We welcome James Hudson (see photo above) into our team as our new Industrial Designer.  James is here for 6 months in partnership with Teesside University.

Design Network North
We attended the launch event of Design Network North recently organised by local company RTC North and funded by One NorthEast.  We plan to be part of this new network as design is so important to the future of our business.  We’re in the business of making our customer’s lives easier and can do this through innovative design.

Energise your Future
We exhibited at the “Engaging our Future Workforce: Energise your Future” event in March at the Metro Radio Arena.  The purpose of the event was to showcase the oil, gas and energy sectors in the North East of England as exciting and vibrant industries that offer real career opportunities to people from the region now and into the future. We helped provide an insight into the world of work to help school pupils aged 13/14 make more informed choices when deciding upon their GCSE options.  The event attracted in excess of 2000 visitors and as well as speaking to pupils we offered them the opportunity to make their own brush!
