Win the job on sight
Look like the safe, professional choice before anyone reads your reviews.
Logo design & branding · Bromley & South East LondonLook as established as you actually are.
Your work is good. Your branding should say so before you've spoken a word: on the van, the business card, the quote, the Facebook page, the invoice. We create or refresh your identity and make it consistent everywhere a customer sees you, so you're the obvious choice at the same price, or a higher one.
Send us a photo of your van, your card or your logo and we'll tell you honestly what it's saying about you.
Why branding matters to a local business
Customers can't judge your workmanship before they hire you. They judge everything they can see instead.
First
impression is visualA clean van, a professional quote and a consistent look say "established, reliable, worth the price" before anyone reads a word.
Price
follows perceptionTwo plumbers, same skill. The one who looks like a proper business gets fewer "can you do it cheaper?" conversations.
Trust
comes from consistencyIf the van, the website and the invoice all look different, something feels off. If they match, you feel safe to hire.
What Design & Branding does for you
From a logo refresh to a full identity, delivered as usable files, not just a pretty picture.
We start with what your business is and who it's for, and what your best customers already say about you. Then we design an identity that reflects that: not fashionable for its own sake, but clear, confident and right for your trade and your area, so it still looks good in ten years.
Everything is delivered as proper files in every format, with a one-page guide to colours, type and spacing, so your sign-writer, printer, embroiderer and web developer all get it right without ringing you. Stefan builds the social and document templates so you can produce something on-brand yourself in minutes.
Where it makes sense, we use AI tools to explore more directions faster and keep the cost down, with a designer's judgement deciding what's right. You get more to choose from, not a template with your name dropped in.

What it means for your business
The practical benefits owners notice.
Fewer price objections
A business that looks established gets asked "when can you start?" more than "can you do it cheaper?".
Recognised around your area
A van people notice and remember is advertising you've already paid for.
Consistency builds trust
Website, van, card and invoice all matching says "organised" without you saying a word.
Templates you can use yourself
Produce a post, a quote or a flyer in minutes without it looking home-made.
Done efficiently
AI-assisted exploration means more directions, faster, at a price a small business can justify.
Priced around your budget, not a menu
We don't sell packages. We work as your marketing team, and the plan is built around what you can comfortably invest for the next six months.
Every business has a different starting point, a different level of competition and a different budget. So rather than ask you to pick a tier, we ask one question: what can you comfortably invest each month for the next six months? Then we build a 90-day plan around that number, with named deliverables and a clear picture of what "good" looks like at day 90.
We review the plan and the budget together every quarter. It can go up, it can go down, and you own every account, profile and asset throughout. Retainers start with a three-month commitment, then run monthly with 30 days' notice. Plans start from £300 a month.
- Free 20-minute Discovery Call — a relaxed chat on the phone or video about your business, what you'd like to achieve and what you can comfortably invest. No pitch. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere useful.
- Free Marketing Audit, worth £300 — after the call, send us a photo of your van, card or logo; we tell you honestly what it says about you and what we'd change.
- Marketing Plan Session · £295 — a 90-minute working session with Derryn and Stefan and a written 90-day plan: what we'll do, in what order, and what it costs. Credited against your first month if you go ahead; yours to keep either way.
- Your plan starts — set up and fix in weeks one and two, then manage and grow every month with a one-page report.
- Quarterly review — together we look at what the plan produced and agree the next 90 days and the budget for them.
All prices exclude VAT. Three-month minimum to start, then rolling monthly with 30 days' notice. You own every account, profile and asset.
Questions owners ask us
My logo's fine, I just need it on a van. Can you do that?
Yes. Often a logo only needs a tidy and a proper set of files to work on a van, and we'll say so rather than sell you a rebrand.
How much does a logo cost?
It depends on whether it's a refresh or a new identity and what needs rolling out. Within a plan it's a defined piece of work in your first 90 days, and we'll show you the number in your plan session before you commit.
Do you use AI to design logos?
We use AI tools to explore more directions quickly and keep costs down. A designer decides what's right, refines it, and produces the proper files. You get the benefit of the speed without the "generated" look.
Will I own the logo?
Completely. Every file, every format, and the rights to use it however you like.
Can you handle the printing and sign-writing?
We prepare everything to supplier specification and brief them properly. We can manage the suppliers for you within a plan, or hand you print-ready files to use your own.
Why don't you publish package prices?
Because a fixed package suits the seller, not the business buying it. Two businesses in the same trade can need completely different work. We ask what you can comfortably invest, build a plan to fit, and show you exactly what you get for it before you commit. Plans start from £300 a month. It all begins with a free 20-minute call and a free audit worth £300.
Do you work with businesses like mine?
If your customers come from your local area, yes: trades, home services, clinics, dentists, salons, garages, restaurants, solicitors, accountants and more. We cover Bromley, Bexley, Greenwich, Lewisham, Southwark, Dartford, Sevenoaks, Croydon and the surrounding areas. See who we work with.
