About
Who we are
We are graphic designers at heart.
Opus Creative Design is a small graphic design and branding agency based in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. Led by Dave Bradburn, we are a growing team of associates who offer our specialist expertise and knowledge for your benefit. We believe that every business and organisation can benefit from good, clear communication. Our role is to present your message in a way that catches the attention of your audience and encourages them to read and take in that information.
We work with clients in a wide range of sectors, from accountants and IFAs to schools and education providers. We love that variety – no matter what the sector, there’s always an interesting angle to look at. And whilst we work with some large, well-known brands our real passion is for working with far smaller organisations where we can make a real difference to their success and growth.
Our Team
We love what we do.
We have an extensive team of associates who can advise on and implement a wide range of marketing activities. Marketing strategy, copywriting, social media, websites, digital marketing, photography and much more. As a result we can bring in the relevant expertise as and when required. If you need help please just ask.
Dave Bradburn
After graduating from Exeter College of Art and Design with a degree in Graphic Design and Typography way back in 1998, Dave enjoyed working in several design agencies in Cheshire and Manchester before setting up Opus Creative Design in 2007.
Dave is a keen business networker and has benefitted from the opportunities that various groups have offered over the years – not just in terms of finding clients, suppliers and referral partners, but also by stepping out of his comfort zone by leading groups and developing presentation skills.
Likes: Ian Rankin books. Dislikes: Marmite.
Approach to life: don’t take things too seriously
Gill Bradburn
As a former Primary School teacher, Gill is here to argue about Oxford commas and recoil in horror at sentences starting with a conjunction! And she’s good at writing on the office whiteboard too! Gill is responsible for a lot of the admin and behind-the-scenes tasks – invoicing, bookkeeping and the like – freeing Dave up to do spend more of his time on looking after and working with clients.
Likes: A good restaurant. Dislikes: Being seen on video.
Approach to life: Put some Take That on.
Ollie and Evie
Our four-legged members of the team certainly bump up the numbers in the office and do like to be given the opportunity to welcome visitors. However, it has to be said that their contribution towards workload is questionable. Ollie does like to keep Dave’s seat warm when he’s elsewhere though and Evie is primarily responsible for security. They can occasionally be seen Zoom-bombing (is that a thing?) online meetings.
Like: tickles. Dislike: Vets.
Approach to life: Eat first, ask questions later
