Fairbridge is now part of the Prince’s Trust, inspiring young people across Merseyside. Designed to support their personal and social development, young people can join the programme and can get involved in a wide range of positive activities.

The charitable organisation exists purely on kind hearted donations and supplying the photography was our little way of supporting this great cause.

The luncheon is a regular fixture in the CBI’s calendar and celebrates three companies from the region that have excelled in their field. Our set design was strident and dynamic using flatwall panels and large format wrap panels created by our in-house designers. The event was captured live by the Mills Media business television team who also filmed at the winner’s premises to provide video inserts for the show. The big winners on the day were Vimto, APS Solutions and Pets at Home and coverage of the event was sent to the CBI production unit in London for inclusion on their website.

Now in 2012, we have kicked off at a stomping pace with two events under our belts in just the first couple of weeks back. Plus there have been numerous client meetings for upcoming events in February, March and April.

Andrew, Barrie and Paul travelled to London for a site visit at Imperial College for a major medical conference being held in April (more on that next month) and Will Syme headed over to Belfast for a recce and client meeting at the Europa Hotel.

With returning client Wirral Partnership Homes already on board and planning for the British Cycling awards in February well underway, this Olympic year looks very likely to bring home the gold (sorry but we couldn’t resist!).

It is only three months since the last programme was launched but the feedback and acclaim for ‘Call Accountant’ has been phenomenal – so much so that we are hard at work on a follow-up.

‘Customer Training’ is aimed directly at those looking to better understand the features of their new BT phone system through a series of on-line and on-site courses.  The new programme explains what’s on offer and also how some of the phone system’s options can help maximise business opportunities.
The programme is being created totally in-house at Mills Media and will be entirely graphics led.

The first preview of ‘Customer Training’ has already been warmly received by BT and the finished programme will be fully launched next month.

2012 has started well for us with further commissions from both UTV Media and Bebington Glass.  A great year beckons!

To celebrate our recent success and push it even further, we are now offering literature printing at trade prices.  Simply let us make the most of your brand by designing your literature, and we’ll get it printed for you for the price we pay our suppliers (and we get some fantastic rates from the printers we use).  You get professionally designed literature (which gets you noticed by your clients), and more money left in your budget for more stuff, we get to do more of what we love (making you look good) and our printers love us because we keep the presses rolling.  Everyone wins!!  Can’t be bad.

We love designing.  All styles, all types.  We are especially looking for those clients who want to be a bit more creative, a bit more adventurous.  We’ve got lots of ideas running around in our heads!  Let us put them on paper for you!

The photographic brief was to create a portfolio of stunning images for clothing company Fundamental Textiles. The business is about to launch an on-line operation in January specialising in high quality ‘hoodies’ for men, women and children that come in up to 20 different colours., The agency requested a series of vibrant, colourful action images plus a selection of fun close-ups and Bob certainly delivered!, A series of advertisements are booked for ‘Images’ and ‘Printware and Promotion’ magazines to run in the first 6 months of 2012 plus there are plans to show at a ‘Printware and Promotion’ trade fare in February that will require a brochure featuring the range of products.

Michael Dandy, Creative Director at ADZ said, ”Everybody at Mills did a fantastic job for us and in turn our client. The organisation of the project was without flaw and the rest of the Mills Media team made everybody feel very welcome as we completed the first step of our photography shoot. I have made the decision to use Mills Media again without hesitation – an exceptional team.”

The awards, hosted by CallNorthWest, celebrate the very best in customer service and the event theme to reflect local quality was the aurora borealis best known fittingly as the northern lights.

The client requested an array of colour and light so Mills Media beautifully lit the Grand Room at the venue in pinks, blues and greens.  Cutting through the shimmering haze were several Clay Paky alphaspots and a glitterball that offered a touch of razzle dazzle!  The twin screen set was also softly lit in complimentary colours and Alison Hitchen from CallNorthWest was thrilled with the work of our team.

The magic of the evening was filmed live by the Mills Media camera crew and stills photography was captured both on stage and with CallNorthWest branded banners for PR.

With some five hundred guests attending, the event was a huge success and we look forward to returning to the venue once again in 2012.
