Started in 1999 with a paltry redundancy cheque and with two customers, it was only a few months before word-of-mouth recommendations lead to new accounts. With a good leisure background, hotels and travel became the most popular business client, expanding over the next few years to accommodate many different business types.

During the millennium Harrisons began looking after advertising, print and website projects for many SME's, including larger, prestigious venues such as Linden Hall Hotel and Matfen Hall Country House Hotel in Northumberland. The focus has always been on the client with service being a top priority. Rather than send out 'suits' to clients, the aim has always been for the customer to speak directly to the designer - no third-party and no sales people. Our clients only speak to the designer creating their work.

2004 arrives with Harrisons now on the National Business link Register of Design Consultants, giving our clients access to funding opportunities against their design, brand or website project*. Our work-load explodes and we see the rapid development of many new business with pride.

Today, we're celebrating 10 years of service and still trade with the same ethos; service and quality of work is paramount. You'll still speak to the chap designing your work and you'll still benefit from a one-to-one relationship and above all, you'll still receive the best possible service and a variety of ideas that include....

We help many kinds of companies; from travel agents to estate agents, hotels to haulage, we're here to offer a helping hand. We've recently been awarded an eight month contact with Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa close to Alnwick in Northumberland. A substantial amount of material is required in addition to web, brochures and signage - we're pretty chuffed.

Call us for an informal chat and if you're lucky, I'll buy the coffee and biscuits.



*Not every business can take full advantage of funding opportunities, but if you're an SME (small to medium enterprise) there's a good chance you can. Your location may dictate funding percentages.
