Meet The Team
Paul Hilton
Paul has over 10 years experience as a senior manager in both Regional Press and outdoor. With an in depth knowledge of North West media he knows how to plan campaigns that can really target the right audience for any business - whether it be local, regional or national press , radio, magazines, outdoor or print he can help client’s choose the right media. We could go on forever about his talents - however as he is writing this section of the website truth and fantasy would quickly blend into one!
Stephen Smith
Ste worked his way up from a sales rep in regional press to..... a sales rep in regional press, pretty impressive !
Seriously though Ste has a real passion for sales and this is the key reason he never moved into a management role – he just loves selling! With 10 years experience in local newspapers across the North West, Ste has an uncanny knack for picking the right media to get the best response for his clients. Let’s face it you have to understand the art of selling to create a campaign that generates sales for our clients and Mr Smith is constantly delivering results!
Gavin Chadwick
What can we say about Gav – founder of the company – top Graphic Artist - a guy who can turn a poor brief into a campaign that delivers response in the blink of an eye. With over 12 years experience designing campaigns for businesses large and small ,whether it be leaflets – business cards or newspaper and magazine adverts Gavin is the man to talk to - please don’t ring him before 10am though as he doesn’t really do mornings!
Kate Jenkins
Kate joined the company as an Account Manager in January 2010 and it didn’t take long for us to realise she is completely “Loco” – Oh she’s only loco!
Kate’s key role is developing our Property Newspaper (see our website leighpropertyguide.co.uk) published by our sister company Northwest Property Guide Ltd. She also has a good knowledge of local press and through recommendations has built her own portfolio of clients.
Andrew Murphy -
Another quality Graphic Artist who has created fantastic adverts for clients in newspapers - magazines and online. With a background in regional press Murphy knows what it takes to design an advert with impact, he takes the basic ingredients of headline – call to action and visual image and can even make a classified advert look pretty impressive! He also looks after our property publication.
Natalie Devine
Natalie joined us back in October 2010 bringing with her a wealth of experience in creative artwork design and most importantly the ability to drink us all under the table!
The word “artist” relates to Natalie in more ways than one but as we are a professional media agency it would be wrong to include the prefix.
Nat has worked in regional press graphic design teams and on the design team of a major national wholesaler and currently looks after many of our retail clients advert designs.
Tom Harding
Tom is our Web Designer/Developer. He's highly skilled in XHTML, CSS, PHP/MySQL, jQuery, Photoshop and Illustrator.
He joined NW Design Studios in March 2011 on the back of 5 years working professionally within the Web industry. He has had roles in both web design and web development so he has knowledge and experience in both fields.
Tom is known to be a happy-go-lucky type, although you will hear the odd expletive when he's knee deep in code!
Andy Hulme
Our second Andy joined our web team in July 2011 from one of our clients to assist with their website full-time. Since then, Andy has grown into the Web Designer/Developer role and now works with other customers in developing corporate solutions.
