Huddersfield design agency expands workforce and office space

A Huddersfield-based branding and design agency has rolled out its expansion plans with the relocation to new premises and the appointment of an account handler.

Aye! Agency has moved into office space at Brook’s Yard with an aim of securing 25% growth over the next 12 months.

The firm had previously been located at The Media Centre since its launch in 2014.

The move coincides with an account handler joining the team, which has taken the agency’s headcount to five.

The growth in staff numbers was the result of an array of client wins, including a rebrand for Scotland’s largest independent welfare hire specialist, Loc Hire, and ongoing design work for mobile tower light manufacturer, Heimdall.

Oli Smith, director of Aye! Agency, said: “Our new home at Brook’s Yard has been a few months in the making. After three brilliant years at The Media Centre, it was the right time for us to carve our own space as we set our sights on expansion.

“The extra room gives us the flexibility to add more team members, and we now have a break-out area where we can all think, draw, brainstorm, debate — whatever we feel like. Our new office definitely personifies us as a business, as it’s packed with character — think exposed beams and stone walls. We love it!”

Oli added: “As we grow and take on new projects, we want all clients — both new and old — to be happy with our level of service. So the appointment of Will, our new account handler, was part of a strategic move to maintain 100% satisfaction.

“He will also free up time for our designers, allowing them to really get their teeth stuck into the creative side of our work. It’s a very exciting time for us and we can’t wait to see what the next 12 months bring!”
