Last week we were thrilled to win the Internship Provider of the Year award at the Plymouth University’s Vice-Chancellor’s Enterprise Awards held on Plymouth Hoe.

We were recognised for our creation of the Bluestone360 Academy – the initiative specifically launched to create opportunities for graduates. It sought to attract the best young design and digital talents in the region, offering university leavers the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, working on live projects, within our offices in Royal William Yard. We employed six graduates overall.

Mervyn went along to the ceremony and brought us back the award and accompanying certificate, which are now sitting proudly in our display cabinet.

The lovely lot at Cornish country club China Fleet recently appointed us to produce a new website for them – design it, build it, write it and generally make it beautiful. With several different departments and a huge range of offerings to fairly represent, we had our work cut out – but we got there, and the site is now up and running.

Both our team and theirs are chuffed with the outcome! We hope this is the start of a solid relationship and great things to come. Take a peek at www.china-fleet.co.uk.

For the third time – and second year in a row – we are delighted to have been nominated for a coveted Gramia Award by the Grocer magazine (although the event has now been renamed and is known as the Marketing, Advertising and PR, or MAP, awards). It’s for our creation of the most recent Ginsters website and its associated Man Plea campaign.

The awards themselves will be held in London’s Savoy hotel at the beginning of November and we’re up against the likes of Listerine and Walkers in the online category, so our fingers are crossed!

Watch this space. We’ll keep you posted…
