The team at Pad Creative offered an excellent service, from my initial enquiry to branding work through to launching the webite and beyond. They designed exactly what I needed and wanted, taking my scribbled ideas and forming them into a professional, quality website that does everything my business needs. They captured the brief perfectly. They were easy to talk to and work with and responsive. I would highly recommend Pad Creative to anyone in need of branding and web design.

As the owner of a insurance business regulated by the FCA it's really important that our marketing, design, website and promotional material meets strict guidelines. Pad Creative are a like minded professional business that constantly deliver and have taken the external view of our business to a higher level. I would strongly recommend this company.

We are loving our new website - so easy to read and navigate. It was a mammoth task to redesign our website and work out the navigation to multiple pages, but Pete, Joe and Mark made our work much simpler and were quick to understand our vision. We were given a comprehensive handover training session plus videos on how to update the website so we were confident to take this over. Fabulous work Team Pad!

We have worked with them several times in the past and they have always been professional and produced high quality work. We recently had a tight deadline and they went out of their way to ensure that we stuck to it and created great posters for us in the process. It was very appreciated and we look forward to working with them again on future projects

I have had the pleasure of working with Pad over the past 15 years through various roles in the charity, public and healthcare sectors. My roles in events/marketing and business development mean I need to work with an agency who are super responsive, highly creative, engaging and deliver against sometimes impossible deadlines. I have found Pad to have all of these attributes which is why they have been my agency of choice for so long, working on various brands, campaigns, websites and events. I also love that I can speak to the person working on my project.

This is the second time I have worked with PAD Creative for my organisation's Annual Report. This year for various reasons the scope of the project changed shortly into the start of work and we were faced with an extremely short turnaround time. PAD were extremely flexible and highly responsive. They really put a shift in for us and we not only achieved the near impossible but the resulting item was of the high quality we needed. PAD are experts at what they do and a pleasure to work with.

Pad's staff made our first experience creating a sales brochure a breeze; offering great advice alongside a reasonable price. They listened to our brief and got it right first time and happily and quickly made changes to our copy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Claire Sales Manager CTS
