Design for Corby businesses
Corby is a town built on steel. In the 1930s Stewarts and Lloyds opened a huge steelworks here and recruited heavily from Scotland, which is why the town still has a strong Scottish identity. Steelmaking ended in 1980, but tube making continues, and Tata Steel still produces steel tubes in Corby.
After the closure, Corby rebuilt around manufacturing and distribution on estates such as Earlstrees and Willowbrook, with easy access to the A14 and A43. Today it has one of the larger manufacturing bases in Northamptonshire, including food, packaging, plastics and engineering. Those firms need technical drawings, 3D models, product photography, catalogues and spec sheets. Packaging manufacturers sometimes need help preparing customer artwork for print, checking dielines, colour separations and bleed before plates are made.
Warehouses and factories also need a lot of practical graphics: floor and rack signage, safety notices, shift boards, induction leaflets and recruitment adverts. Staffing agencies serving those sites need job posters and social graphics that stand out in a busy feed.
- Steel, metal and engineering firms: CAD drawings, spec sheets, product photography
- Packaging and plastics manufacturers: artwork checking, catalogues, brochures
- Distribution centres: safety and wayfinding signage, induction materials
- Recruitment and staffing agencies: job adverts and social graphics
- Trades and small firms on new estates: logos, cards and leaflets
The town regained a passenger railway station in 2009, and large areas of new housing have since been built, bringing more trades and sole traders who need a first logo and leaflets. The Corby Cube civic building anchors the redeveloped town centre, and Rockingham Castle adds a rural and tourism element. Design is done remotely from Mansfield, and shoots in Corby are on location, with travel added to the quote.
