In ten years I've been fortunate enough to work with some of the very best ad agencies, design houses and companies in the north east. And before that as an employee of Robson Brown for four years, Factory Cat and Alcazar Communications I have made good relationships with good people in the North East. I have recently spent 15 months at Different as their Studio Manager before returning to freelance again.

A design for life
Different Advertising, Stark Hartley Atkinson, Some People Design, Gardiner Richardson, Boom Creative, Hunter Johnstone, Guerilla Communications, Cool Blue, IM Marketing, Drummond Central, The Design Group, Cravens Advertising, Kimmerston Design, Bradley O’Mahoney Public Relations, Black & White Advertising, Alcazar Limited, Orchard UK and With Knobs On have all been great companies who have given me the opportunity to work closely with them as part of their team.

If you build it, I will come
I have also worked in-house solo or with the existing marketing departments at Berghaus UK, Sage plc., ITPS, Tommee Tippee, Three Rivers Housing, City of Sunderland College, Clark Handling, CMS ltd., Sanderson Young estate agents, The Bond Museum Keswick, Cars of the Strars in Keswick and Alexandria, Loch Lomond Galleries shopping centre, Godfrey Syrett furniture, Ridgemedia, ARL consultants.

Remote control
Often either due to the size or distance, it is good to have the flexibilty to work remotely offsite for clients such as INL International, The Bond Museum Keswick, Cars of the Strars in both Keswick and Alexandria, Loch Lomond Galleries shopping centre in Scotland and Blue Bottle Design .

Lest we forget
A couple of these companies NE6 Design, Fawthrop McLanders, Forsyth Communications are sadly no longer with us and conventional wisdom demands that those companies should not be mentioned again, with any possible negative associations severed. But I disagree, there's only a couple anyway and out of respect for the people who worked within them and the good work that is their legacy, their names should be remembered proudly.
