After over 15 years as an actor, including a number of productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company, I re-trained by taking a Masters Degree in web development at London Metropolitan University. I joined Red Ink Creative as a co-founder around 2001 and have worked in all aspects of digital design and development since then.

Malaga Meetings

Richard at Red Ink was a great help in designing and building the Malaga Meetings website for me. I needed a very particular look and feel for my business and Red Ink were excellent in understanding my needs. They delivered the site on time and within budget and have looked after the maintenance and updates since then. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Red Ink for your business website.

Pollinator Pioneers

I worked with the team at Red Ink to develop and design both a charity and a corporate website. As global Marketing Director in the city, I have worked with many agencies over the years. I found the customer service with this team very refreshing. Nothing was ever too much, no problem that could not be solved. Finding an agency that can deliver on both technical development and design can be tricky. These guys have it nailed. Plus they are quick! And just a really nice bunch of people to work with. Good ideas. I'm just about the employ their services for a third site and have recommended Red Ink Creative to many colleagues.
