Wixams - L&Q Estates
The brief from L&Q Estates was for a high-end brochure, with exemplary production values, that told the story of the Wixams development - taking an industrial site that had seen better days and transforming it into an aspirational new village community. The resulting 32pp brochure features a wealth of newly commissioned photography by Julian Calverley, together with historical research, copywriting, design and creative direction from Brand Skillings.

Commissioned by: Ian Hardwick, Managing Director
Client: L&Q Estates
Design & management: Brand Skillings
Photography: Julian Calverley
Art direction: Nick Brand
Print: Colt Press

Cover: matt laminate, gloss UV for 'Wixams' & matt gold foil blocking for the L&Q logo.

"It's a cracking job and illustrates exactly what we can do."

“Have just received the Wixams case study brochure and it exceeds my hopes and expectations. It is a cracking job and illustrates exactly what we can do. Thanks for your input and can you pass my thanks onto Julian Calverley as well."

.” 

Ian Hardwick, MD, L&Q Estates

Caister Lifeboat has been saving lives at sea since 1791. Completely independent, they depend entirely on public donations to help provide safety and rescue services to the countless vessels, crews and beach visitors to this area of the East Coast of England. We are proud to support this vital charity - developing a new website to provide details of their latest rescues - or "shouts" as they are known - and most importantly to encourage donations.
