We are very proud to welcome Matt Hutchins to lead our creative projects. Matt brings with him more than 20 years of graphic design experience for some top end automotive clients and has a natural eye for detail. Having worked as Comm’s Manager for The Royal Automobile Club and Marketing Manager for Moss Europe, Matt has returned to his real passion; pure design. Before joining Purple in 2020 Matt spent five years designing for Octane Magazine and GTO Engineering Ltd.

“Since sketching concepts at a young age my focus has always been design and the thrill of creating something new and taking it to it’s ultimate potential. My passion and enthusiasm for design remains unabated and is equalled to that of managing a successful marketing campaign.”

“We are so lucky to have Matt on board who despite joining at the beginning of the first lockdown, has been the lead designer on a number of commercial vehicle projects as well as developing the brand identity for a new-start, online global fitness venture.”

“Not only do we love his work and ability to deliver on point, clients do too!” said Debbi.

For a second consecutive year our phenomenally successful client Wren Kitchens took centre stage at this years MT Awards by winning the Business Excellence Award, last year they won the Operational Excellence Award. Working very closely with the logistics and transport team at Wren, we were able to help demonstrate their industry leading methodologies and business principles that make them the huge success they are today. In just over 10 years Wren boast a turnover of £643m and a gross profit of just under £300m, which is largely down to owning its supply chain; they make kitchens of dreams, they sell them and they deliver them, which is pretty unique in their industry. Well done Wren! To find out more https://motortransport.co.uk/blog/2021/02/26/mt-awards-2020-boxing-clever-by-wren-kitchens-knocked-out-judges-in-business-excellence-award-sponsored-by-hireco/

For the 6th successive year we won the contract to design, build and host a business-to-business exhibition stand at the NEC for Jigsaw Transport, the UK’s leading provider of large-scale managed transport solutions. “Our main marketing thrust of the year is out presence at Multimodal, and again we were delighted with the stand, our pre and post-event communications and the customer hospitality, which Purple did in its entirety for us. Debbi and her team take total responsibility and always do a fabulous job for us, promoting and positioning our brand exactly as we brief.” Andy Humpherson, Managing Director, Jigsaw Transport.
