More work is in the pipeline for Toddington Web & Design.
I have had quite some success prospecting for new work and am now working on three projects, which have delayed my attempts to join the spring reboot for 2008. I am currently working on web design projects for GM Europe's Aftersales department. I am also producing a website for the Cavalier Golf Society and generating an entire image package for Success-Tec.com.
Success-Tec.com
A colleague of mine is preparing to launch his own company which specializes in motivational and relaxational techniques. With many years experience of sales and marketing, he is pitching mainly at the Automotive sales industry, as a trainer for sales excellence. He is qualified as an NLP Master Practitioner and has experience in modern Hypnossis techniques.
Toddington Web & Design has been instructed to produce an entire corporate identity for his company Success-Tec.com, which should include Logo design, stationary and a website to promote the company. Work has already begun on this project and should be complete by the end of April. At this time I am waiting on content supply from the customer.
GM Europe - Aftersales Customer Satisfaction Survey
GM is the leading producer of automobiles in the world. They produce vehicles under many names. In the UK they supply Chevrolet, Vauxhall, Saab, Cadillac and Hummer vehicles and support imported vehicles from Corvette. In the Republic of Ireland, Vauxhall vehicles are supplied under the name Opel. They also own Saturn, GMC and a large stake in the Suzuki Motor Corporation. The Aftersales Warehouse located in Luton supply parts and accessories to the wide network of Vauxhall, Chevrolet, Opel and Saab dealers in the UK and Ireland and support the european Opel opertations in Germany and Spain. The warehouse itself is over 1.25 Million Sq Ft and provides a mindboggling number of parts and accessories overnight to sites from Cornwall to the highlands of Scotland.
I have been instructed by the client to produce a web based method of monitoring retailer satisfaction with regard to the supply of parts and accessories. The site should also ensure satisfaction with logistics partners and complaints handling proceedures. The ideal setup should run from a database which will maintain a historical record of responses. An early draft of the programme is in operational testing within the network, using an email subission system.
Cavalier Golf Society
The Cavalier Golf Society is a group of GM Europe employees and pensioners who meet regularly to play golf at courses local to the head office of Vauxhall in Luton. With membership numbers falling and attendance at an all time low, the secretary of the organisation approached me to discuss ideas to increase the success rate of the society.
The solouton to this enquiry involves modernising the opertation to include, for the first time in the societies history a website with facilities to book and pay for golf days online. I also intend to include a forum for members to comunicate with each other between meetings. We are also looking in to redesigining the societies logo to fit a more modern and relevant organisation which is identifieable as a Vauxhall entity.
Other Work in Progress
In addition to the above work, I am also working on a number of short graphic design projects for my full-time employer Evans Halshaw Vauxhall in Hemel Hempstead. Evans Halshaw Hemel is part of the UK's largest dealer groups which retail vehicles for many manufacturers including Vauxhall, Ford, Citroen, Chevrolet, Suzuki, Renault and Fiat. In addition to the Evans Halshaw chain, Pendragon PLC also operates a chain of Stratstone branded sites retailing premium and luxury brands such as, Aston Martin, MINI, BMW, Mercedies-Benz, Lexus and Jaguar.
For the site in which I work, I have produced a number of A4 posters to advertise special offers, accessories and products. Current work is on 4 items advertising our delivery package, protection package, TomTom special offer and price list for accessories displayed on a vehicle in the showroom.
The work detailed above is keeping me very busy at the moment, therefore the planned relaunch of twd-web.com and nicholas.smith.co.uk are on hold.
