The Tour of Britain

September 7th, 2011

We have been working closely with Skoda and the organisers of the Tour of Britain cycle race due to commence on the 11th September, creating and fitting graphic liveries to 80 vehicles to be used on the Tour as official vehicles. Not widely known but every year some of the world’s top cyclists compete on British roads for the right to wear the special and coveted yellow jersey. Over the past five years, Olympic, World and read more…

History not News

September 7th, 2011

Most of us today have really busy lifestyles. This tends to be reflected in our thinking. It’s certainly not unusual to only think about our ‘immediate’ time-frame, no crime there. Sadly it’s almost a luxury to consider anything else. Anyway, if you get a moment (sorry it’s quite a slow upload) you might find it interesting just to reflect on some of the Key Dates and Events in Stony Stratford’s History. They date back to 1194 and Richard I or read more…

A quiet night out

August 26th, 2011

Thursday night and just over half the team ventured out into the wilds of downtown Milton Keynes to catch a burger and a movie, but not just any movie, it had to be the countrys latest block buster and ‘hilarious’ comedy “the Inbetweeners”. apparently the movie smashed UK records with £13m in the first weekend (2.5m on the first day). Not bad when you consider it is reported to have only cost 3.5m. (considered very low in the read more…

Congratulations to Skoda UK

August 22nd, 2011

Hot off the press, the Skoda UK team not only surpassed their own target of 200mph, but smashed the Bonneville class record (which we are told stood at 216mph for a 2 litre car) with an amazing 227.080mph. That’s over over 10mph quicker. Quite an achievement when you consider this is their first outing (considered a rookie team) and the car was still very much on the drawing board 3 months ago. Brilliant well done guys! The team were read more…

Action Men, Andrew Bullock (right) and Terry Francis are heading off in October to Peru’s Machu Picchu in a quest to raise funds for the Samaritans (wearing our Freestone creative event shirts) Andrew’s certainly no stranger to this sort of challenge, in 2009 he trekked across Brazil (again wearing our shirts).

Skoda’s 200mph attempt at Bonneville salt flats

August 16th, 2011

Our team here have been busy turning our clients vision into reality, in this particular case a car livery and other collateral for Skoda’s first attempt at reaching 200mph - celebrating 10 years of the vRS model range. In order to achieve this task a team of very clever Skoda technicians and engine specialists from REVO have managed to squeeze a gargantuan 600hp out of a 2.0L engine. read more…

Freestone creative has just completed a prestigious shop-fitting project in Harrods, the world-famous Knightsbridge department store. The entire project was created and fully finished off-site then carefully disassembled and delivered to Harrods’ amazing subterranean storage facility.

A Testament to our project management

The document was printed in 5 language versions all within a strict time frame and budget.

Year on year growth with this year being no exception, possibly due to an ever increasing data base of enthusiast, owners and drivers. We used our eDM system to communicate ‘event news’ on a monthly basis for the 4 months proceeding the event. The day raised just over £1500 for Willen Hospice.
