Built by our clients for our clients, Designer Websites' new meeting / training room is finally ready!

 
We've been struggling for some time with a single small meeting room, so we decided to reshuffle our premises somewhat to create a new room that's perfect for meetings, presentations, and training sessions. Work on the room is now complete, and as you can see, the results look great!

Practically everything you see in the photo above was provided by one of our clients. These are businesses with whom we've worked very closely over the years, and we thought that explaining 'who did what' would make a great talking point within the meetings we'll be having in this space.

Who did what?

The first thing we did when renovating the room was install a luxury vinyl floor from Floormaker, long-time clients of ours who supply all kinds of high-quality flooring to homes and businesses throughout the UK. Here's what the stripped-back room looked like once the floor was down:

Then came the task of plastering and painting the new meeting room, which we split between ourselves. We also took care of hanging the blinds, rewiring the electrics, and sorting out the radiators.
 
After that, we turned to our friends at ABC Designs, signage specialists based right here in South Wales. They created a sign similar to the one in our main office, along with some entrance signs, door vinyls, and car park signs - all of which, in our opinion, looks absolutely awesome!

We also commissioned Printmet to build us a bespoke meeting room table (with a parquet insert from Floormaker, who we mentioned before) and a bespoke TV stand, which we designed specifically for the new room.

Then came the pièce de résistance: a quirky, modern-looking partition with a hidden door. This was designed by the brilliant Modelmakers Ltd, who normally specialise in architectural and exhibition models but clearly have a bright future in this sort of work! We already had an idea of what we wanted, so after a few design concepts and discussions with the guys from Modelmakers, a plan was agreed upon and they installed this unique wall in no time.

And with that, our new meeting room was finished!

Our meeting room has gone from being boring and run-of-the-mill to being exceptionally cool and contemporary, and everyone here at DW absolutely loves it. None of this could have been achieved without the help of our brilliant clients, so if you are ever looking for a superb signage company, an amazing model maker, a fantastic bespoke metal furniture supplier, or a high-calibre flooring company, you know who to call!

Our latest website is a very special one indeed. If you watch The Apprentice, you'll already know who Dr Leah Totton is - after emerging victorious from the show's most recent series, she founded Dr Leah Clinics in partnership with Lord Alan Sugar. 

Now, you may remember that we created a website for previous Apprentice winner Ricky Martin and his company, Hyper Recruitment Solutions. Ricky was so pleased with the HRS site that he recommended us to Leah, and we're proud to announce that the Dr Leah website is now live for all to see! Visit www.drleah.co.uk and have a browse.

Dr Leah specialises in aesthetic medicine, and her brand new London clinic offers all kinds of safe and effective beauty treatments. These range from anti-wrinkle injections and facial fillers (useful if you want to fight those tell-tale signs of ageing) to revolutionary non-invasive liposuction procedures. You'll find all the necessary information over on the new website - you can even book a treatment online!

Here's what Leah had to say about working with Designer Websites:

"Designer Websites came highly recommended to me by former Apprentice winner Ricky Martin, who worked with them on the HRS website. I was impressed by them as a company - they were fantastic throughout the whole process, and they have created a fantastic website. A pleasure to work with, and a company I am happy to recommend to any business seeking a web designer."

- Dr Leah Totton

Thanks for the positive feedback, Leah! The whole team here at Designer Websites would like to wish Leah and Lord Sugar every success in their new venture, and we hope that everyone likes the new website.

Last week we told you about the launch of 'Formula Dragon' - a competition launched by SVG Promotions Limited to attempt to get Welsh citizens involved in motor racing. Formula Dragon aims to make race car driving accessible to anyone over the age of 16 with a spare £30. This fantastic competition also provides scope for individuals to become professional race car mechanics and technicians. 

Designer Websites are proud sponsors of Formula Dragon because we think it's a fantastic opportunity to make motor racing more accessible to Welsh citizens and we're keen to see how the work of SVG Promotions Limited impacts motor racing in Wales. 

If you fancy yourself as a race car driver, if you love formula one of if you'd quite simply love the opportunity to give it a go, then enter on the Formula Dragon Website and for just £30 you'll be entered into the competition to win an opportunity of a lifetime. Ultimately any successful competitors will compete in the British Touring Car Championship backed by a Welsh team. 

Below are a couple of videos from the launch to provide you with more information, but in essence, the message of Formula Dragon is : a chance to drive a real race car for just £30!
