Keith Noble:
Design Director

Beginning his career working for high profile agencies in Manchester such as The Chase and Horseman Cooke, Keith joined us in 1995 and was appointed Director in 2000. Many clients such as TelecityRedbus, RAC, Somerfield, British Nuclear Group and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine have been inspired by Keith's outstanding creativity, project management skills and enthusiasm for every project he undertakes. His contribution to the design industry was recognised when he was invited to take part on the judging panel at the North West Insider Annual Report awards in association with PriceWaterhouse Coopers.
