“Healthwatch Surrey commissioned Nick in summer 2022 to help us with a complete re-name and re-brand of our Community Interest Company.
Nick worked with us to understand our vision and requirements. He helped us define what sort of organisation we wanted to be, which in turn led to the creation of a new brand and name. Nick helped us with the whole process, in terms of starting with a range of concepts and then honing down to a shortlist, and finally one name. complete with a strapline which aligned with our vision, mission and values. Nick then guided us through the selection of the look and feel of our branding, ensuring that it matched our overall vision. Finally, Nick has developed a fantastic suite of assets such as Powerpoint and Word templates, so that everything is in place for our launch.
At every stage Nick has been a pleasure to work with. Nick’s creativity and ideas have sparked fantastic conversations amongst our team, and the work has been a great collaboration. He understands our needs as a CIC to ensure we take the Board with us on the journey, involving them in key decisions as required. We love the end result, and have really enjoyed working with Nick along the way.”
“We called Nick in to look at updating our brand because we liked his strategic approach.
His initial questions and recommendations led us to us re-evaluate what the brand really stood for.
Having established the brief, we then got into the fun part of the project – looking at design concepts – which stimulated a lot of healthy debate among ourselves and made us seriously consider who we were as a brand.
Throughout the creative process Nick listened to our views and helped steer us to a solution that we are all proud of and brings us up-to date.
We would recommend Nick to any company that needs help in refreshing their branding – we certainly found it a very worthwhile exercise.”

“I was really pleased that Nick agreed to work with me on rebranding my company. I felt confident that his approach of finding out about me and my company would deliver the best results. I didn’t just want a logo, I wanted an identity and brand that I was proud of and that reflected who I am. Nick worked through a number of ideas before we settled on the final design and then refined that so that it was just perfect. I would heartily recommend him if you are looking to develop your brand.”

“Nick provided us with the creation of a new brand design, which offered us benefits in several respects. It enabled us to provide a more customised and focussed image towards customers, it enabled us to take the detail and use for image improvement, such as placing the logo onto uniforms, and it provided the foundation for our website. This has raised awareness of our business, and our customers have generally commented positively on the result. So, I thank you Nick for your expertise and support.”
JEFFREY TEMPLE

“Nick came up with a design that reflects the Club’s character as lively, inclusive and contemporary. The branding is very flexible and works brilliantly on signage, merchandise and digital marketing. The reaction from members has been enthusiastic and it has helped to promote the Club to the wider community.”
MARTIN BROWNE
President – Bourne Club
“Getting proper branding after being in business for forty years without, was a big deal for us. We couldn’t afford to get it wrong. Nick took time to understand what we are about and delivered a range of design options which all hit the spot in one way or another. With his help we chose the right one and it’s made a real difference to how staff and customers perceive the business now. Much more professional, and now we get noticed and remembered when people drive past!”

“I’m so pleased Nick has designed the new shop front for Samsara – I’ve always loved the original logo that he created. Nick can be trusted to listen to what I want and come up with spot on brief designs. But, also to challenge my opinion and gently push his ideas to achieve a really professional, well detailed scheme. I’m really proud of how Samsara stands out in Bagshot High Street due to the effective design.”
