A new leadership team has taken charge at Bristol’s oldest commercial graphic design agency.
Greg Corrigan, co-owner and fifth-generation member of Burleigh's leadership team, is retiring from the business. He will be succeeded by Jonathon Galvin-Wright and co-owner Fraser Ebbs, who has been a director within the firm since 2012.
The new leaders have pledged to take the Leigh Court Business Centre-based business forward by building on Burleigh's heritage, which stretches back to 1895 when it was first established as a family firm of designers and printers on Park Row.
Mr Galvin-Wright said: “I’m proud to have joined Fraser in a leadership role as a director of Burleigh Design which is one of those brilliant, historic businesses which make the Bristol business community so special.
“Burleigh Design’s status as the oldest design agency in town and to have been continuously serving local businesses since 1895, says a lot about the way we like to do business which is based on trust and great relationships.
“Burleigh Design has the richest of histories so there’s a lot to live up to but I’m relishing my new role and really looking forward to working with Fraser to make sure the business keeps going from strength to strength.”
The two Burleigh directors have recently conducted a re-brand and are now set to extend the scope of the agency's work.
The company's customers include air conditioning manufacturers Daikin; engineering conglomerate Avon Group; Smith Brothers Stores - the largest air-conditioning merchants in the country; and charities and professional services firms including Penny Brohn and Cushman & Wakefield.
Mr Galvin-Wright said: “We have earned a stellar reputation for our ability to fulfil hard-working design needs across brand, graphic design, content and marketing."
Mr Corrigan added: “Burleigh Design could not be in better hands and both Fraser and Jonnie’s expertise and experience will make sure the business prospers so these are exciting times which will be full of new opportunities."
