The gala award ceremony for the Federation of Small Business (FSB) Awards 2009 was held last week and Beaver Solutions, part of the Beaver Group, is proud to have won second place in the category of “best e-business”.

Beaver Solutions is the sister company to Beaver Design, both of which form the Beaver Group. The Beavers beat off a lot of difficult competition with our innovative and successful work in the field of digital signage and web development. The awards noted our continuing work in integrating digital signage with a range of different web technologies.

All the Beavers are proud to have won another award for our work and would like to congratulate all the other winners and finalists from the evening.

As part of our service to market research for some of our client’s products, Beaver Design provides packaging for various kinds of products.

This month Beaver Design provided over 4000 printed boxes to test three different products in four different countries and each project involved the design, layout and finished artwork for each product. The boxes were then printed and shipped ready for filling in Poland, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK.

The results of this market research will go on to help well known brands deliver better products for consumers around the world.

When Essex based South Eastern Electrical decided to create a facilities management division of the company, they contacted Beaver Design. The new venture ‘Tudor Facilities Management’ asked us to create a corporate brand image, with a new design and the print of their general stationery and a quality brochure.

After consultation with the directors we came up with the simple, clean look they required starting with the company logo (above). From this, we further designed letterheads, compliment slips and business cards. With some careful consideration, we also sourced all of the relevant images to create a company brochure which is clean, to the point and reflects Tudor’s ethos – quality.

In only a short time, Beaver Design has provided Tudor Facilities Management with everything, including delivery of all printed items, days before their deadline.

Beaver Design is now working on finalising the new website for Tudor, which will go online in a few days. Watch this space!

“The internet is as vital as water and gas”, wrote Gordon Brown today in an article for The Times. In the article, which preceded today’s Digital Britain report, the Prime Minister outlined the government’s plans for investment into the internet.

The Prime Minister stated, “Just as the bridges, roads and railways built in the 19th century were the foundations of the Industrial Revolution that helped Britain to become the workshop of the world, so investment now in the information and communications industries can underpin our emergence from recession to recovery and cement the UK's position as a global economic powerhouse.”
