I enjoyed working with Barnaby. The project was to produce leaflets and posters for my First Aid training business. He really bought in to what I was wanting to achieve and worked patiently but promptly on producing a quality product. Thanks

BCM enabled me to see the size and layout of my new extension to achieve what I wanted before I spent loads of money on the architects drawings and plans. I would definitely recommend Barnaby to anyone looking for creative ideas and gain space awareness. More...

I commissioned Barnaby to do my husbands 50th Birthday invitations. I wanted it themed Game of Thrones for his fancy dress party. Barnaby’s creative input for ideas were above and beyond to produce the invite. It was an easy process and he was extremely welcoming and efficient with recommendation of where to print as well. 5 stars service Thank you Barnaby More...
