Rufus client wins ASPIRE-ational award

Rufus is delighted to announce the success of one of its long-term clients, Adventurelands, following their scoop of the ‘Brand of the Year’ award at the Play Providers Association’s (PPA) first annual ASPIRE (AwardS for the Play Industry Recognising Excellence) Awards held in Birmingham this week.

Adventurelands, a fun-filled adventure playground for children, entered the awards only as a starting point to raise their profile and to build their brand outside of the North East.

Ian Wright, Rufus MD and record ‘cup-of-coffee’ drinker commented, “It’s excellent to see another one of our clients doing so well and our own work being celebrated on a national level. Good design is fundamental to creating a great brand that people recognise and value.”

P-A-R-T-Y time

What a night!

We’d like to say a big thank you to all those who came to our party on Friday night. We held a bash to celebrate reaching our 21st year in design – a pretty big achievement in our eyes. We think it’s safe to say everyone had a great night. The last people left at 5am!

Feedback received from friends, family and clients has been great.
Here are just some:

• “Thank you for inviting my family and me to your wonderful 21st birthday party - we had a great time. The food was fantastic and all of the hard work you and all the staff had put in - could not be missed.“ Stephanie Buchanan, Charity Manager, Cash for Kids
• “The orange Rufus goodie box was fantastic. I’ve been hooting to myself reading all the labels! Excellent buffoonery!” Phil Bailey, Arnott Commercial
• “Excellent celebration – children were so thrilled to be invited to one of Mum and Dad’s work night outs! … So I guess you are suddenly the most popular company to deal with – and they give them gifts too……..!” Philip and Valerie Gibbs, Arrow Commercial

We are Rufus

Hello guys and dolls, we're Rufus.

We’re what we like to call a ‘design hub’ where anything visual can be created. This year we’re celebrating entering our 21st year in design – that’s 21 years of blood, sweat and tears…

So welcome to our blog. We'll be posting little snippits of news and fun stuff that will hopefully keep you entertained. You might even find it interesting enough to share with a friend.
