Design for Gateshead businesses
Gateshead faces Newcastle across the Tyne and has its own business base. Team Valley Trading Estate, built in the 1930s and one of the largest in the UK, holds hundreds of manufacturers, engineering firms, wholesalers, trade counters and offices. Most are established small and mid-sized businesses whose branding has grown piece by piece over decades.
For Team Valley firms, the design work that matters most is practical. Trade catalogues and price lists that customers actually use, trade counter signage and posters, vehicle livery, datasheets and product photography on white. Many have a logo that has been redrawn badly several times; a careful logo redesign restores a clean master version without losing recognition. Engineering firms also need technical drawings and 3D CAD at £45 an hour + VAT.
The MetroCentre and the retail parks around it support shops, restaurants and leisure businesses that need point-of-sale material, menus and social content. Gateshead Quays is a cultural destination, home to the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, and arts organisations and event businesses there need posters, programmes, exhibition graphics and event photography.
