Judging by the letters' pages in the local press over the past couple of weeks, it appears that Axminster Carpets have rallied their troops, with us being constantly reminded of how generous the company has been to the town over the years, as a way of justifying their plans to build 50 zillion houses (or something like that) on what is probably the largest expanse of green fields within a 5 minute stroll of the town centre.
It's true that the town's history contains many, many examples of the company's generosity, but that was under different management - with a new, young MD in charge, this latest plan smacks more of getting rich quick rather than their usual benevolence.
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!
About Me
View my complete profile
Stembridge are a graphic design and web design company based in Axminster, a small market town in Devon, famous for its carpet-making and, these days, River Cottage.
We’re small, friendly and unpretentious - a bit like Axminster itself - and specialise in corporate identity and brand development for businesses in East Devon, South Somerset and West Dorset.
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.
