Testimonials for Becks Neale

“I have shared with various stakeholders the recent ‘brand development’ document you sent over. I have to say it has gone down extremely well. You have absolutely captured the ethos and feel of what we stand for. We are very excited and I’ve just met with the Newsletter designer and given her all the info on pantones, guidelines etc. Becks is great to work with…calm and pragmatic at every stage. Thank you Becks”

Amanda C. Head of Fundraising & Communications, Oakhaven Hospice

“Becks did some great design work for us in the run up to and in the aftermath of being awarded a contract by the NUS to supply Fairtrade/ECO clothing to Student Unions across the UK. The contract kicked in on 1 July and runs for two years. Beck’s designed the pivotal bookmark for us which is serving as the swing ticket on all our NUS “SUstainable” garments. I just wanted to say that Becks comes highly recommended, so if you are looking for a high calibre, professional designer who is very creative and has a well-honed and targeted imagination – someone who really understands what you are trying to achieve with your brand – then Becks is your person. ”
