Calling all brilliant graphic designers!

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

colours

At Urban Splash, we’re well-known for the outstanding design of our buildings – it’s what sets us apart from other developers (well, that and the amazing, unusual, stunning and ambitious projects we take on). We’re also pretty well-known for our brand, something we’ve been developing and nurturing over the years to give this business something that other companies can only dream of – a strong brand that looks great, has real meaning, and absolutely stands for who we are. As well as the 280-odd awards we’ve received for our buildings over the years, we’ve also been celebrated for our brand and marketing – we were deemed the North West’s Top Brand in 2008, and we were selected as a Superbrand in the same year.

But it’s a brand that doesn’t stand still. We’re constantly evolving, building on our strong foundations but trying new things, stretching the boundaries. That’s what attracted me to Urban Splash in the first place, and what continues to make the Marketing team an exciting place to work.

And now we’ve got an amazing opportunity for the right person. We’re looking for a senior graphic designer to join our team. You’ll be hands-on, producing quality work to our brand guidelines; you’ll also be leading the way, dreaming up new ideas and persuading the senior management team to buy into them. We’ve always been recognised for the great print work our in-house team has produced, but increasingly we’re becoming known for our pioneering online and social media marketing, so you’ll also have a keen interest in this growing area of communications.

If you want a new challenge, the opportunity to work with and mould one of the UK’s most celebrated brands, and to join a lovely team of people who are making a difference in property and regeneration, check out the job description at http://www.urbansplash.co.uk/about-us/join-us/vacancies.

Mind the Gap at Lister Mills

We’re really chuffed that Mind the Gap has just installed itself in one of our commercial spaces at Lister Mills, Bradford. Mind the Gap is a professional theatre company that helps people with learning disabilities become professional actors, and helps actors with learning disabilities achieve their potential. We can’t wait to see their next performance!

Tom’s a chance(llo)r!

Our chairman was inaugurated as chancellor at Manchester University in December 2008.

He’s in post for the next seven years. Does this mean he will at last become as academically qualified as his colleagues?

Chips being served!

Anyone passing Ancoats over the last few days and weeks will have noticed that Chips has been a hive of activity. Our very own Will Alsop building - his first ever residential project - is nearing completion, and our customers will soon be moving in.

Chips, New Islington, Manchester

Our vision for New Islington is taking shape… although with funding hard to come-by, we’re working closely with the government to make sure that the next phases move forward as quickly as possible.

Our show apartment will be opening later in March… call our sales team to arrange a viewing - customers get priority!
