About the client…

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the largest hospital trust in the Tees Valley serving the people of Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, Hambleton and Richmondshire and beyond.

The trust runs The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough and the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton. It also runs community services in Hambleton and Richmondshire, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland.

The project

The ‘Baby Stars’ project is run by the Health Visitor team in Middlesbrough. The programme looks at the behaviours that babies demonstrate during their first eight weeks.

mm&d supplied the original artwork for the ‘Baby Stars’ programme in 2010, and when the Trust required an updated design, they were happy to call on the services of mm&d again. Maggie Wood, Health Visitor in Middlesbrough;

We are always delighted with the artwork supplied by mm&d. They are happy to pay us a visit and talk over different concepts which is a great help.

mm&d supplied the trust with information flyers and certificates from the project, with both documents printed to a high quality finish.  Commenting on the importance of the print quality. mm&d Business Development Manager, Owain Jenkins;

We feel it is important that the print quality is to a high standard. The chances are that this will be the first certificate/ award the child receives and parents are delighted to show it off to friends and family and keep as a memento!”

mm&d have also worked with the NHS in Leeds and Coventry, providing a range of design and web development services.

We enjoy working with the NHS as the projects we work on are particularly rewarding. We have worked on several diverse campaigns such as the drug and alcohol services, mental heath and other hard-hitting projects. We like to think our design work can play a small part in supporting the great work they do.

About the client

Based in Redcar & Cleveland, this newly-formed partnership consists of several academies that together form St Oswald’s Catholic Academy Trust. Included in the partnership are:

• St Peter’s Catholic Voluntary Academy
• St Gabriel’s Catholic Voluntary Primary Academy
• St Margaret Clitherow’s Catholic Voluntary Primary Academy
• St Mary’s Catholic Voluntary Primary Academy

About the project

St Oswald’s Catholic Academy Trust is the first Catholic academy in the Middlesbrough Diocese. As such, they required an entirely new brand for the Trust that oversees all the academies along with the creation of separate brands for each individual academy.

mm&d provided St Oswald’s Catholic Academy Trust with a wide range of design services that involved the production of new signage, stationery, prospectuses for each academy and school as well as pens and pin badges for all our staff, students and governors when the academies were launched.

According to Pam Hanrahan, Headteacher, the personal service offered by mm&d has been particularly beneficial to the Trust:

mm&d provides a thorough and professional service – nothing is too much trouble.  Someone is always available at the end of a phone and they are also willing to come on-site at the drop of a hat. I cannot speak highly enough of their services.”

Working with schools is an area mm&d is particularly experienced in, having recently signed several contracts with the soon-to-be-launched academies. Director Mark Skirving is looking forward to forging new partnerships in the coming years:

As a business, we see the education sector as an important element of our work. We are able to offer a wide range of bespoke marketing services specific to schools, from complete re-brands to uniform designs. We offer all services in-house.

Schools are increasingly having to operate in partnerships with the local community and we can help ensure they are presented in a professional manner.”
