Business Development Manager. "Brendan took on a major project at very short notice. We needed to turnaround our prospectuses as quickly as possible without compromising on quality. Brendan coped with a number of re-writes and changes on our part so we really needed someone with excellent attention to detail. We particularly appreciated the calm, 'can-do' approach and the team spirit - working to the same goals. Marketing Manager. Hereford College of Arts. "Brendan has been able to deliver a great looking brochure for our conference and award ceremony under very tight deadlines, and even with the requirement for entire translation of the document. Whilst working under pressure with late alterations and additions Brendan remains helpful and willing to do what it takes to achieve exactly what we were looking for and on time. He also turned around a near impossible last minute design request that was a major help for our event on the day, going the extra mile liaising with printers to ensure the product arrived before doors." Senior Manager. Association of Independent Festivals.

“Nozstock Festival has been working with Freedesign for over 7 years and we would not consider using any other company. Brendan’s work is always of the highest quality – perfectly understanding the design brief and providing prompt delivery at an extremely reasonable price. He frequently goes that extra mile to ensure we are totally happy, regularly taking on last minute extras without hesitation. He is a joy to work with and an extremely talented individual.”
Nozstock Festival Coordinator.
