ABOUT US
HELPING BRAND MANAGERS LOOK
BRILLIANT SINCE 1991.
Funny things, events and exhibitions. You spend 6 months planning for something that lasts two days. You spend weeks refining a design that people see for seconds. There’s so little time to make an impression. Getting things right first time is the only option.
That’s why we’re the production partners of so many great brands. We’ve been in the thick of event and exhibition branding since 1991. And if you add up those 25 years of knowledge, that’s a lot of marginal gains.
TEAM HF
IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE IS
HARDWIRED IN TO OUR COMPANY.
We’re a team of designers, makers and problem solvers. We’re good at spotting pitfalls, rolling our sleeves up and thinking on our feet. If you’re tackling event design, brand overlay, sport sponsorship activation, roadshows or interactive exhibition stands, you couldn’t have a better team at your side.
TIM HENSON
Managing DirectorAs founder of the company, Tim Henson is always pushing new ideas and motivating the team to achieve even more. His vast experience means he’s great at taking a step back and seeing a whole project in one view. He loves seeing a job done well, helping inter-departmental teams gel and pulling on his wetsuit at weekends.
JONNY CROSTON
Sales & Marketing ManagerJonny Croston really enjoys the challenges that his job throws his way. A stickler for detail and clarity he leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of delivering for the client on every occasion. A big technology fan, he also loves heading out for the day in his Land Rover with his dog.
DANNY WADE
Operations ManagerDanny Wade has learned an awful lot in his 16 years at the company. He uses this wide breadth of knowledge to help operations liaise with account handling and admits to having a soft spot for cat shows.
JAMES MATTHEWS
Client Services Manager“The devil’s in the detail”, is James Matthews ’ advice on delivering a great job, “Remembering the small things makes a massive difference to our clients.” When he’s not keeping an eye on detail he loves watching rugby, whether it’s the world cup or his son playing for his local team.
HOLLY HOPKINS
Senior Account ManagerHolly Hopkins loves horses and her specialist equestrian knowledge is encyclopaedic. Riding and trail hunting at weekends, she’s an expert in her field and brings massive energy and enthusiasm to every project.
KEVIN MOORE
Design ManagerKevin Moore loves motor sport, the variety of his work and the fact he can see ideas through from brief to delivery. He’s great at creating concept visuals that help clients see how ideas will look and is really proud of the 2-seater, V8 sports car that he built at home from scratch.
HARRY WALKER
Senior Creative 2DWith 25 years creative experience behind him, Harry Walker is an expert at working through a design brief to bring it to the table with a refreshing angle whether that be for an exhibition stand or an entire event. “I really enjoy thinking around a design and bringing it to life, then seeing it manufactured and delivered” he says. When the demands of being a Dad allow, he also loves to climb and abseil.
SAM KITCHIN
3D DesignerThere’s nothing Sam Kitchin loves more than thinking creatively about a fresh design job. But horse riding, long country walks and real ale pubs come close. Organised and always up for a challenge, Sam loves the satisfaction of a job well done.
GARY MARSHALL
Print Production ManagerGary Marshall is the ultimate multi-tasker. Organised and flexible, he can stay on top of a hundred jobs at once and gets enormous satisfaction from seeing jobs being completed just right. He’s also a keen traveller, fisherman and golfer.
