what our clients think about us

“We have been impressed both with the imaginative design that you produced for our new website and also the support that you have given since it went live last year. I think that we now have a website that is both an excellent showcase for the creative engineering services that we offer and is also easy for us to keep updated.”

Andy Hodgkinson, Director, Hewson Consulting Engineers

“Vivid has worked with ComputerWeekly.com and MicroScope.co.uk for many years designing and creating marketing content to support  online activity and live events. From designing invitations, to online marketing collateral, to microsites; Vivid have always delivered what we need quickly, within budget and to a high standard. They are a partner who understand the media and events business thoroughly and have the expertise to deliver whatever you present to them”

Chris Hepple, Events Manager, TechTarget UK

“Having worked with Vivid over a number of years now, they keep coming back with new, fresh ideas to the variety of projects that I throw at them.  They are easy to talk to, fun to work with, and always get the work done on time to a high standard.”

Tony Hill, Marketing Manager, Farmers Weekly

“We have always been extremely impressed with the team at Vivid. No matter how tight the deadline or complex the brief they always come up with a great solution for us. They understand our business and work like partners rather than suppliers. We always feel like we’re getting 100%. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any of our clients.”

Kelly Farley, Events Manager, Travel Weekly Group Ltd

“Vivid Associates never fail to come up with innovative solutions to meet our budget and deadlines.  From initial concept through to delivery their enthusiasm and commitment is as if they were part of own business.  Their bespoke websites have become an important part of our campaigns.  They are extremely flexible and user friendly, enabling us to make our own updates, thereby maximising cost savings.”

Angela Jones, Head of Awards, Reed Business Information Ltd

“I have worked with Vivid for over 15 years, they always deliver highly creative professional results on time and at a realistic price. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending them.”

Ray Coombe, Director, Louvet Turner Coombe

“Passion for design and customer service are just two of the qualities that reflect the work that Vivid has created for the Elektra Awards.  They have been easy to communicate with, always helpful, as well as flexible and able to accommodate tight deadlines with quick responses and turnaround times.”

Lee De La Rue Browne, Group Sales Manager, Electronics Weekly

“Thank you so much for your input as without your interest and invaluable contribution we couldn’t have done it! We all really appreciate and value the experience and enthusiasm Lorna has shown and really look forward to continuing the great working relationship we have already built.”

Jim, Lisa and the Pro Landscaper Team, Eljays44 Ltd

“I have known and worked with Vivid Associates since 1997. The nature of the company simply reflects the people in the team — honest, talented, dedicated, motivated, generous and friendly. The management’s philosophy of getting good people and looking after them produces an atmosphere where all the team’s creative talents can blossom, resulting in superb work for the customer. I cannot recommend Vivid Associates highly enough.”

Bernie Baldwin, Editor, Low-Fare & Regional Airlines

“Vivid have been a preferred and trusted supplier to RBI UK for many years. They have recently completed a complex online project for my Conferences division which enables the team to upload content to bespoke websites for each event and provides customers with an online booking engine to take their bookings by credit card. The website was designed in consultation with the team and has been a great success. The team at Vivid always work in partnership with us and provide innovative solutions on time and on budget.”
