Shaw Heath Park Opening

Today was the official launch of the new outdoor gym at Shaw Heath park. Devote have been heavily involved in the project and it was good to see the outcome opened by the Mayor of Stockport. A number of t-shirts designed and produced by Devote were handed out on the day and we even got a chance to try out some of the equipment! More information about the gym can be found here http://www.stockport.gov.uk/content/newsroom/latestnews/outdoorgymopenforall?a=5441

Forte Print website

In addition to the printed brochures recently created, Devote have designed and built a small website for manchester based Forte Print. Downloadable pdf brochures allow the information to be sourced easier for potential clients and the site was very well received by Matt the owner. More work will now follow for other companies in the Forte group. The website can be viewed here www.forteprint.com

Shaw Heath outdoor gym

As part of the Shaw Heath renewal programme that is being funded by Marks & Spencer, an exciting new range of outdoor gym equipment has been installed for the use of the local community at Shaw Heath park. I was asked to design and print a quantity of t-shirts that can be given away at the official opening on Friday 24th April. I am looking forward to attending the event and getting some images of the finished gym as well as people sporting the tees. Samples of the equipment can be seen here http://tgogc.com/legacy-gym.html
