Design for York businesses
York's visitor economy runs on print and pictures. Hotels, guest houses, tour operators and attractions near the Minster and the Shambles still hand out DL leaflets through tourist racks and hotel lobbies, and they need room, food and venue photography that sells a stay before anyone books. Independent shops need carrier bags, gift tags and window graphics that suit a historic street. Many of these businesses trade from listed buildings, so signage often has to respect conservation area rules, which usually means restrained colours and painted or hand-lettered styles rather than illuminated boxes.
The city has a second, quieter economy that buys a different kind of design. Insurance and financial firms need report templates and presentation decks. Rail engineering consultancies around the station and the York Central scheme need technical diagrams, bid documents and clear infographics. Bioscience and agritech companies at York Science Park need investor decks, scientific posters at A0 and product visuals.

Nestlé's KitKat factory keeps confectionery in York's story, and smaller food and drink makers in the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside need labels and packaging that stand up next to big brands on a deli shelf. We design all of this remotely from Mansfield, and photography is shot in York on a day that suits your occupancy or footfall, with travel quoted first. Neighbouring pages: Harrogate and Leeds.
