Another one for the print series; we’re delighted to share our latest work for Covenco: The Executive Guide to Backup & Recovery.

Covenco are enterprise data management and infrastructure specialists and an IBM partner. They protect and recover business-critical data for organisations where downtime simply isn’t an option. When a client like that trusts you with a flagship publication, the work has to match their reputation.

The content is written by Covenco’s own specialists and goes deep. It covers ransomware resilience, NIS2 and DORA compliance, the 3-2-1-1-0 rule, and dedicated recovery guidance for ten sectors, from education and healthcare to banking, insurance and manufacturing. Our role was to support the design and take the publication through to print, so that expertise reaches the boardroom in the best possible form.

This guide is written for IT Directors, CISOs and CEOs, who are some of the most time-poor readers there are. Every page needs to earn their attention 👇

✅ A clear contents page and sector-by-sector structure, so each reader goes straight to what matters to their organisation
✅ High-impact statistic spreads that land the key numbers at a glance 📊
✅ “Next Steps” panels throughout, guiding every section back to a conversation with Covenco
✅ Rigorous consistency with Covenco’s brand colours, typography and layout across all 32 pages
✅ Fully print-ready artwork, prepared and checked to production standard

The finished publication 🖨️
📄 A4 landscape (297 × 210mm), 32 pages
🎨 Full colour throughout on 150gsm inner pages
📎 Folded and wire stitched
💎 250gsm artboard cover with matt lamination

The result is a document with real presence. It feels considered and substantial in the hand, as you’d expect from a business that asks boards to trust it with their most important asset: their data.

Thank you to the Covenco team for the trust and partnership on this one. It’s been a privilege.

📣 This is the second print project I’ve shared this week, and there’s more to come. We work across the full range, from sales packs for local trades to flagship publications for enterprise brands. If you have a guide, report, brochure or proposal that needs to reflect the quality of your business, we’ll support the design and manage the print from start to finish, with one point of contact and production you can rely on.

📁✨ Good Print Design Still Sells! 📁✨

We've recently designed a complete sales presentation pack for Perfect PVC, covering presentation folders, customer contracts and product brochures, all finished in their distinctive black and gold branding.

But good design isn't just about making things look nice.

Think about it. A salesperson visits your home, provides a quotation and leaves. What happens next? The customer sits down, reviews the paperwork and decides whether they trust the business enough to spend their money.

That's where professional design makes a difference. 👇

🎨 Consistent branding builds recognition.
📋 Clear layouts make information easier to understand.
🛡️ Reviews, guarantees and accreditations reinforce trust.
📖 Quality printed materials give customers something to keep and refer back to.

AI might generate a leaflet in thirty seconds, but understanding how customers make purchasing decisions takes a little more thought!

A huge thanks to Perfect PVC for trusting us with the project. 🙌

📣 *Still using Word documents or generic templates for your sales materials? We design and print brochures, folders, contracts, leaflets and more.

Vehicle Livery: Staffordshire Solar LTD ☀️🚐

Three brand new Kia PV5s, all lettered up and on the road for Staffordshire Solar. One silver, one black, one green, and one livery that works on all three.

That was the challenge 🎯 When a fleet comes in three different colours, it's easy to end up with three vans that look like they belong to three different companies. We kept the layout, lettering and amber sun logo exactly the same on every van, so whichever one pulls up outside your house, you know who it is.

It suits the job too ⚡ A fully electric fleet for a company that installs solar panels, EV chargers and battery storage. The vans make the point before anyone says a word.

The project included:

✅ Livery design for the Kia PV5 body, worked around its panel lines and curves
✅ One layout adapted to silver, black and green base colours
✅ Services listed clearly on both sides and the rear doors: Solar PV, EV Chargers, Battery Storage
✅ NICEIC Approved Contractor and MCS Certified badges placed where homeowners will see them
✅ Website, email and social icons on every side
✅ Application across all three vans, ready for handover at Burton Kia 🔑

For a solar installer, the van often makes the first impression 🏡 It's parked on a driveway all day while the team is up on a roof, and every neighbour on the street sees it. A clean, consistent livery with the right accreditations on show does a lot of selling before the quote even arrives.

Thanks so much to the Staffordshire Solar team for trusting us with the new fleet, and to Burton Kia for having us at the handover 🙌

📣 Is your van just driving around plain white? Every mile is advertising you're not getting. Whether it's one van or a whole fleet, we'll design a livery that matches your brand and gets you noticed.

Brand, Livery and Website: Exley Transport 🔵

We've just launched a brand-new website for Exley Transport, a licensed bulk haulage contractor based in Stoke-on-Trent. We also designed the brand and the fleet livery, so this one runs all the way through.

That matters more than it sounds. The blues on the website were pulled straight out of the logo artwork, and the arrow marking every section of the site is the same arrow that sits on the side of the trucks. The site reads blue and white because the fleet does. Brand, livery and website built as one piece, rather than three jobs handed to three different people.

Exley run walking floor, tipper and general haulage nationwide from two bases, hold a Standard National operator licence and are an upper-tier registered waste carrier. The site needed to carry that weight.

The project included:

✏️ Logo and brand identity design
🎨 Fleet livery design, carried across the vehicles
🖥️ A dedicated page for each service, structured to rank on its own
📄 A documents hub for licences, insurance and compliance paperwork
✅ Licence and waste carrier numbers verified against the public registers, not copied off a brochure
💬 Quote, credit account and job application forms, spam-protected and routed to the right inbox
📍 SEO built right in, of course

The parts you cannot see took the longest. Analytics that ask permission before setting a cookie, a privacy policy that describes what the site actually does, Defra digital waste tracking readiness written into the copy, and a proper 404 page so Google never gets handed the homepage by mistake.

For a haulage business, a website is a credibility check. Transport managers and procurement teams look for the licence numbers, the insurance and the paperwork before they look at anything else. Put all of that in one place, behind a brand that already looks established on the road, and the enquiry gets a lot easier.

🐾 A new website for Oaklands Boarding Kennels

This wasn’t simply a case of making the old website look a little prettier.

Oaklands is an established, family-run business offering boarding, grooming, microchipping, teeth cleaning, secure paddock hire and its own range of dog food. The previous website simply wasn’t doing justice to the business behind it.

We rebuilt the website to give customers a much clearer route to the services they need, whether they want to book their dog in, hire the secure paddock or order dog food online.

The new website includes:

🐶 Dedicated, search-friendly service pages
🛒 Online dog food ordering
🌳 Secure paddock hire and online payment
📅 Clear routes into boarding enquiries and bookings
⭐ Live customer reviews and stronger trust signals
📱 A responsive experience across desktop, tablet and mobile
📍 Improved local SEO foundations for searches around Stafford

The result is a website that looks far more representative of Oaklands, but more importantly, works much harder for the business.

It helps prospective customers understand the full range of services, builds confidence before they make contact and reduces the number of steps between arriving on the website and making a booking or purchase.

🏁 Period-Correct Graphics Back Where They Belong 🏁

Earlier this year, we were asked to recreate and install a period-correct motorsport livery for this Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTI, taking inspiration from the style and graphics that made these cars iconic during the golden era of touring car racing.

Seeing it out on circuit this weekend at Oulton Park made all the hours of measuring, scaling, researching and fitting worthwhile. Oulton Park has been home to touring car racing for decades, and the Golf GTI has its own place in British saloon car racing history, making it the perfect setting to see the finished result in action.

It's always rewarding when a design leaves the workshop and ends up exactly where it belongs... being used.

Good luck to the team for the rest of the season. We're looking forward to seeing the Golf back on track soon. 👌

If you're restoring a classic, building a race car, or looking to recreate historic graphics accurately, we'd love to help.

🚚 Extending the Tractive Power Brand on the Road 🚚

Following the recent completion of the new Tractive Power van graphics, we've now carried the branding across to their new trailer, creating a consistent and highly visible presence wherever the business goes.

This is where vehicle branding starts to come into its own.

A single vehicle looks professional. A coordinated vehicle and trailer combination creates a much stronger impression, helping to reinforce brand recognition and project confidence before a conversation has even begun.

For this project, the objective remained the same:

🎯 Clear, easy-to-read branding
🎯 Strong visibility from distance
🎯 Consistency across the fleet
🎯 Maximum impact without unnecessary clutter

The bright orange branding works exceptionally well against the dark vehicle and trailer, ensuring the Tractive Power identity remains visible whether it's travelling to site, attending demonstrations, or exhibiting at events.

One of the most common mistakes businesses make with vehicle graphics is trying to communicate too much. Good livery design isn't about filling every available space. It's about understanding visual hierarchy, ensuring the right information is seen first, and creating a brand that's memorable.

When done properly, vehicle graphics become one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising available. Unlike online advertising, they don't stop working when the budget runs out.

🪧 Signage That Does More Than Just “Look Nice”

Recently completed these composite sign panels for Shukers Farm Shop & Butchers - designed, printed and installed to work properly in a real-world environment.

This kind of signage has a job to do. It’s not just decoration. It needs to grab attention, guide customers, and make information easy to take in quickly, especially from a distance.

That’s where proper design comes in 👇

Too many businesses are starting to rely on quick, AI-generated artwork or templated layouts. It might look “okay” at first glance, but it often misses the fundamentals that actually make signage effective:

• Visual hierarchy – what people see first, second and third
• Clear typography – readable at distance, not just on a screen
• Colour psychology – using tones that feel right for the brand and setting
• Spacing and layout – giving content room to breathe so it can be understood quickly

Get those wrong and the sign might look busy, confusing, or worse… untrustworthy.

Get them right and the opposite happens.
You build confidence, clarity and credibility before a customer even walks through the door.

That’s why businesses that invest in proper design over time tend to stand out more. Not louder… just clearer, consistent and professional.

For Shukers, the aim was simple. Keep it on-brand, easy to follow, and strong enough to work day in, day out, whether someone’s driving past or standing right in front of it.

If your signage isn’t pulling its weight, it’s usually not a print issue… It’s a design one.

🌱 Website Launch: New Farm Organics

We’ve recently launched the new website for New Farm Organics, a family-run farm in the Lincolnshire fens producing certified organic vegetables and livestock, with a strong focus on sustainability and traceability.

The approach for this project was simple. Rather than overcomplicating the design, we focused on clarity, structure and storytelling, ensuring the website reflects the quality, beleifs and process behind the business itself.

Alongside the website build, we worked with Jerram to develop a clear photography brief, making sure the imagery captured on-site supported the overall message. Real farming, real produce and a genuine representation of the business.

This alignment between visuals and website is key. When done properly, it creates a consistent and credible experience from the first impression through to enquiry.

The site delivers:
🌿 Clear messaging around organic farming and sustainability
📦 Straightforward information for trade buyers and partners
📍 A structured layout that communicates what the business does, quickly and effectively
📱 A mobile-first experience, built for modern browsing habits

For businesses like New Farm Organics, a website isn’t just a marketing tool. It’s a way of building trust, demonstrating credibility, and presenting the business in a way that reflects the standard of the product.

➡️ Take a look: https://newfarmorganics.co.uk/

If your business is built on quality and reputation, your website should reflect that just as clearly.
