Our Team

P&W was established by Simon Pemberton & Adrian Whitefoord who met in 1980 whilst studying Graphic Design at university. Much has changed in the meantime, but their intentions remain the same; to deliver commercially-orientated creative design that aligns with client business goals. This is achieved via a collaborative process based on a spirit of mutual trust and understanding.

Our team of talented Creatives and Account Managers ensure smooth, efficient project progression.
