Design for Yeovil businesses
Helicopter building defines Yeovil. Leonardo, which took over from Westland, still assembles them here, and the Fleet Air Arm flies from RNAS Yeovilton just up the road. Between them they keep a deep supply chain busy: machine shops, composites specialists, test facilities and engineering service firms on estates such as Lufton, Houndstone and Pen Mill.
Those firms need design work that holds up to aerospace scrutiny. Technical drawings follow BS 8888 conventions with clear tolerances and projection symbols, 3D models are supplied in STEP for customers' CAD systems, and illustrated parts diagrams and exploded views support manuals and work instructions. Drawings converted from old paper or PDF records are a common request where a part is still in service but the original files are lost.
Capability matters as much as drawings. A supplier approval visit goes better with a clear brochure showing machines, materials, accreditations and finished parts, and photographs taken properly in the workshop rather than on a phone.
- Precision engineers: drawings, CAD conversion, capability brochures
- Composites firms: 3D models, renders, product photography
- Test and calibration labs: certificate layouts, data sheets, diagrams
- Retail and ecommerce firms: product photography, ad graphics
- Cafés, pubs and care homes: menus, brochures, signage
Yeovil is also home to Screwfix's head office, which brings retail, ecommerce and marketing roles into the town and a wider appetite for well-made digital graphics and product imagery. Pittards, the leather manufacturer, adds a long tradition of quality product presentation.
Out towards Sherborne and the Dorset border, farms, food makers and holiday businesses bring a steady stream of labels, farm shop branding and holiday let photography.
Yeovil College and its University Centre offer engineering courses linked to local employers, and apprentices moving into small businesses often need their first logo and stationery.
