Trafford-HQd Grafenia looks to North Shields for 100th Nettl design studio
Trafford-headquartered Grafenia plc has announced the opening of its 100th Nettl studio in the UK.
The web design brand’s newest site in North Shields follows the launch of seven studios last month, including in Hereford, Inverness and Sunderland.
Nettl’s aim is to help SMEs get more from their online promotional budgets, but the company also provides offline marketing such as print, expo displays and signage – all manufactured at its production facility in Trafford Park.
Grafenia CEO Peter Gunning said: “We’re really pleased to welcome so many new partners to the Nettl family.
“We’re proud to bring talented and interesting characters together and to grow our businesses even further.”
He continued: “We make websites which work well on mobile and shops that are designed to sell on mobiles. With over 100 creative teams in our network, we can really the harness the national knowledge to get quicker results for clients and more from their budget.”
Nettl recently launched a Business Store in the centre of Birmingham to act as a showcase for its new range of fabric expo displays.
Peter commented “We’re showing these expo displays in a setting that feels more like a gallery or boutique hotel than print shop. Clients love it.”
The company is now looking to open additional Business Store sites in Manchester and Liverpool.
