New Leaf Tree Surgery is a business offering all aspects of tree surgery across Oxfordshire run by a lovely bloke called Neil. Neil knew what he was looking for – he had a new website and truck vinyls but his company’s identity was easily forgotten and didn’t hang together as a logo. The solution for […]
Making leather goods by hand
Tanner Bates sells leather bags, journals, belts and accessories – handmade onsite in the workshop. John Hagger’s successful business expanded into tuition to the point where it became it’s own entity, Leather School. The two sit happily side by side. Leather School offers courses, classes and make-your-own-belt kits, with the tagline “Be the Maker”. The […]
Aging gracefully
New Lion Brewery have a tradition going. On their first birthday, they brewed a Russian Imperial Stout, laying down a limited quantity of bottles in their cellars.

It started with a campaign in 2012 to draw people’s attention to a derelict site with a long history. In November 2015, the community votes on a […]
Using a car only when you need it
As a car share participant for over 10 years, I have helped Jeremy and E-cocars to succeed in obtaining a grant to increase the number of cars in the fleet and launch a new identity and a non-corporate, responsive website. I’ve also learned a-hell-of-a-lot about just what it takes to consistently and pleasantly support 40+ […]
