Sweet new offices
After four years the team at Caramel Design have expanded from their studio in Hamble and have moved to more spacious premises in Station Road, Netley. "This move is a strong indication that the future for Caramel and our clients is on the up', says Graham Maclean, studio manager. "Our work load has snowballed as we continue to receive referrals and positive recommendations from our growing list of satisfied clients. Due to this increase in projects, we are now taking on more staff to help cope with the growing demand for our services.

"The designers at Caramel are all very excited about the move and the expanded working space" says Claire Nichols, senior designer. "The studio in Hamble was a great place to work but we were starting to find it a little too small and cramped, so the move to Netley is something we have all been looking forward to.

Keeping it local
Caramel have a number of very exciting web design projects that they are still keeping under wraps. 'I am only prepared to hint that one is definitely something for the girls, so watch this space', winks Grace Dunn, creative director.

Caramel's newly designed website, displaying past work and current clients is still attracting good hits and positive feedback. "Our own website took a while longer to complete "says Claire Harding, senior designer "As being designers we are always critical of our own work. We finally reached a point where we had to say enough is enough and get the website live. Otherwise we'd still be umm-ing and ahh-ing over it 6 months later. The website is now a great showcase for prospective clients to view our work, and like any good web site, it is continually evolving and is a work in progress.' 

Caramel's new address is 22a Station Road, Netley Abbey, Southamptom So31 5AF. The telephone number remains the same - 023 8045 4749.
