It's fantastic to see all of the work being undertaken in and around Axminster railway station - as Network Rail add a 'passing loop' in time for the new December timetable - but I can't help wondering whether, when commissioning the station's new footbridge, the Powers That Be scoured the world for the ugliest construction that they could possibly find. If that was the case, then they have certainly succeeded in spectacular fashion.
Worse still, given that the monstrosity is fully covered - and remembering the stench of urine that greets visitors to the footbridge at Dawlish station in South Devon - I have a horrible feeling that it will be utilised as a toilet when the public conveniences on the platform are closed. How charming.
Hello.
I'm Jane McIntyre, a Sony-winning BBC producer who asked to take the money and run. Now running, daily, and er... spending the money. Also, writing (recently runner-up in LateRooms travel blog competition) and working regularly as an 'extra' in TV, commercials and movies. Hurrah!

That said, we can turn our mind to pretty much anything - apart from (maybe) lion-taming - including business stationery, promotional items, marketing advice, websites and print management. Our design work is all carried out in-house, including any copywriting - ensuring cohesive results that will always sound right, as well as look right.
