I first met Jenny Forrest from Jenny’s Blinds Ltd 15 and a half years ago at BNI Silk Macclesfield chapter.
She’s a beautiful, bubbly, kind, generous lady, who her late husband had named the company after.
After her husband had died, she had been keeping the business going for her son Stephen, who has been successfully managing the business for the last 15 and a half years.
Steven Forrest started his business the same month that I started Fox Graphics, so I feel we were both learning together how to be an entrepreneur and how to set up and run the business. We have a lovely bond in that respect.
Jennys Blinds logo for their relaunch at that time was one of the first branding projects that I completed, so I always get quite excited when I see the logo, especially the cupcakes!
It was great to be so involved in their branding and marketing. Handcrafting the logo rather than using a standard font made this a bit more special! One of the key aspects of the company is that they’re very much a family-business, a local business, with traditional values and excellent business ethics.
The branding has been used across their website, van graphics, banners, leaflets, social media posts and tablecloths. When Stephen started doing exhibitions he just had the banner as promotional material, and though it was at first just the one item, it was very successful at drawing people in as it was so strikingly different, colourful, and showcased so much of what Jennys Blinds did.
Since then Stephen has taken Jenny’s Blinds from strength to strength; he now has his own offices, a couple of vans, a few staff, and does some fantastic commercial and domestic work. The strong branding has been consistent over the last 15 years and still stands the test of time today!
‘We would like to thank Kate Fox for a fantastic job creating our logo and services provided. We found Kate to provide a fast, effective and professional service throughout every stage in the design and production of the cards. We were consulted regularly throughout the process ensuring that the end product was exactly what we required. We would wholly recommend Fox Graphics, with confidence, to anyone requiring graphic design work’.
