Design for Dudley businesses
Dudley borough sits in the middle of the Black Country, and metalworking never left it. Foundries, toolmakers, fabricators and family engineering firms are spread across the estates in Dudley, Halesowen, Cradley Heath and Brierley Hill, supplying automotive, construction and aerospace customers. Many of them still send out hand-marked sketches or decades-old drawings when a customer asks for a part. Redrawing those properly is often the most useful design job we do here: fabrication drawings with flat patterns, bend notes and weld symbols, saved as DWG and DXF that a laser cutter or press brake operator can use directly.
The borough has a strong visitor and retail side too. Visitors come from all over the country for Dudley Zoo and Castle and the Black Country Living Museum, Merry Hill and the Waterfront make Brierley Hill the commercial centre, and Stourbridge has its glassmaking heritage plus a busy independent high street. Those businesses ask for different things:
- Cafés, pubs and restaurants near the attractions wanting menus, A-board posters and social graphics that stay consistent
- Glass studios and craft makers needing product photography that handles reflections and transparency properly
- Retailers and shopping centre tenants needing window graphics, promotional flyers and digital ads in the right sizes
- Professional firms at the Waterfront wanting stationery, proposal templates and headshots
- Construction firms and modern methods of construction start-ups linked to the Dudley Institute of Technology needing site hoardings and simple 3D visuals
Projects such as the Very Light Rail innovation centre at Castle Hill and the Metro extension towards Brierley Hill show the borough is investing in engineering again, which brings more demand for presentation decks, exhibition graphics and technical illustrations. We design all of it remotely from Mansfield, send proofs by email, and come to Dudley only for photography or filming, with the travel quoted before booking.

Frequently asked questions
Can you redraw old fabrication drawings for a Dudley engineering firm?
Yes. dijitul redraws paper or scanned drawings into clean CAD at £45 an hour + VAT. We include flat patterns, bend allowances, weld symbols and a proper title block, and supply DWG, DXF and PDF so your laser, punch or press brake operators can work from the file directly.
Do you photograph glassware in Stourbridge?
We do. Glass is one of the harder things to photograph because it reflects and transmits light, so we light it from behind and the sides to show edges and colour. Product photography starts from £25 + VAT per image, with travel from Mansfield quoted first.
Do you work with businesses in Halesowen, Kingswinford and Sedgley?
Yes. Design is all done remotely, so firms anywhere in Dudley borough, including Halesowen, Kingswinford, Sedgley, Netherton and Cradley Heath, get the same service. You send material by email, review proofs online and receive final print or CAD files without a meeting being needed.
