We are pleased to announce that 42 Creative will merge with Designworks from 1 October 2026.
We have known and worked alongside the 42 Creative team for more than 20 years. During that time, we have developed a strong working relationship based on a shared approach to design, client service and responsible business.
The merger is a natural progression for both companies. It will provide 42 Creative’s clients with access to the wider resources and experience of the Designworks team, covering graphic design, branding, websites and digital services.
It will also allow 42 Creative’s company director, Steve Parkman, to step back from the day-to-day administration of the business and concentrate on producing high-quality creative design. He will continue to work with clients as part of our experienced design team.
What does this mean for 42 Creative clients?
We expect very little to change from a client’s perspective.
Steve will continue to provide the design expertise, creativity and understanding that 42 Creative’s clients value. Designworks will support him by managing initial enquiries, estimates, project administration and invoicing.
A long-standing relationship
Designworks directors Rory and Leonie have known Steve and Heidi as friends and colleagues for more than two decades. The two businesses already collaborate on several projects and share a commitment to reliable service and long-term client relationships.
We understand that changes of this kind can raise questions. Our priority is to make the transition straightforward and ensure that every 42 Creative client continues to receive the same care, attention and quality of work.
