Cool stuff:
The inaugural Scottish Bike Show happened this month at Glasgow's SECC - The event's organiser Magdala Media really pulled it out of the bag! Looking forward to next years already...

Vickers Creative was there, drinking too much coffee (which was actually quite good) and chatting with the exhibitors. A big thanks to everyone I spoke to, the day flew by!


Philosophy:
Vickers Creative is committed to ethical graphic design and print practices. Where possible, I will use printers and suppliers in your area, not overseas. You can be proud that as a small or growing business you are supporting other businesses in your community. I believe this is essential for keeping valuable skills in Scotland and the UK, and in building self-supporting communities for future generations.
