Simon and Rhys join our branding and design team

We’re pleased to welcome two new recruits to our branding and design team with Simon Wilson and Rhys Leeds joining us.

Simon, pictured right, joins Freshfield from branded footwear firm Jacobson Group where he worked on design projects for classic British trainer and sportswear brand Gola.

Rhys was previously a freelance designer and also worked on a number of road safety campaigns for Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety.

Our managing director, Simon Turner, comments: “The world of design continues evolving and today’s designers need a vast array of skills, including a good understanding of the digital marketing landscape and moving images.

“Simon and Rhys bring to Freshfield an abundance of creative capabilities as well as a commitment to excellent client service.”

Simon and Rhys will work on design and branding projects for clients including Lancashire County Council, MHA Moore and Smalley, Mulbury, North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, Nurtur Student Living and UCLan.
