Design for Preston businesses
Preston is Lancashire's administrative city and sits close to two of the county's biggest engineering employers. BAE Systems builds military aircraft and parts at Warton and Samlesbury, and Westinghouse makes nuclear fuel at Springfields. Hundreds of precision engineering, composites and technical services firms supply them, and those firms need technical drawings, 3D CAD and clear documentation at £45 an hour + VAT.
Defence and nuclear customers are careful about information, so photography in those supply chains has to be planned. We agree in advance what can and cannot be shown, avoid controlled parts and drawings in frame, and let you review images before anything is published.
Lancashire County Council is based in Preston, and the city is known for the Preston model of community wealth building, which encourages big local institutions to spend with local firms. Small businesses bidding for those contracts need tender documents, method statements and case studies that look organised. We design Word and InDesign templates that staff can reuse for every bid.
- Aerospace and nuclear suppliers: CAD, technical drawings, capability brochures
- Public sector contractors: bid templates, case studies, accessible reports
- Professional firms: brand refreshes, headshots, stationery
- City centre retail and hospitality: menus, signage, social graphics
- Logistics firms on the M6 and M55: livery and signage
The University of Central Lancashire brings students and start-ups into the city centre, and student-focused bars and shops need a steady flow of posters and social content. All design is done remotely from Mansfield; photography and video are shot on location in Preston, with travel quoted. See also Blackburn and Blackpool.
