Meet the Team at Branding Box

At Branding Box, the work you see is created by a small group of people who care about clarity, consistency and good design. Let’s take a closer look at the faces behind the work we do:

Richard

Richard is the Founder and Creative Director of Branding Box

Branding Box began because Richard saw how many business owners felt unsure about branding and wanted a service that explained things clearly and got the job done without fuss.

He sits at the heart of the business and is closely involved in almost everything that happens here. Richard shapes the direction of projects, speaks with clients throughout, and makes sure the work stays focused on what each business genuinely needs. If you work with Branding Box, you will talk with him at some point, as he guides the process from the early ideas right through to the final outcome.

Outside work, Richard likes to play tennis, even if the serving part remains a challenge. He is the chairman of Crawley Lawn Tennis Club and enjoys the social side of the sport as much as the game itself. Saturday mornings usually start at the gym, followed by coffee with friends, which he sees as an important part of the routine.

After lots of hard work, he always enjoys a nice, relaxing holiday. He often leans towards places with a mix of calm and good scenery. Thailand is high on the list, and closer to home, he has a real fondness for the Lake District.

Josh

Our Lead Creative Designer, Josh, handles a good portion of our design work and many of our website build projects - he is even a Wix Certified Web Design Expert!

Josh has a steady, organised approach and takes time to understand what each client needs from their project, be it a logo, business card or website. Clients often mention how helpful he is and how he always finds creative solutions to problems, always hitting the mark on achieving the client’s goals.

Outside of work, Josh is a big sports fan, be it playing or supporting. He particularly enjoys playing football and golf, and fits in a game whenever he can. He is always there to cheer on Chelsea and keeps a close eye on F1, especially McLaren.

He also enjoys time outdoors, whether that is a long walk or being near the ocean or forests. Music is a constant for him, with playlists ranging from hip-hop and pop to rock and indie.

Nick

Nick is a digital marketer who manages a lot of our Social Media and Email Marketing clients, as well as some paid ads work. He takes a thoughtful approach to planning content, paying attention to what each business wants to say and how their audience prefers to hear it. When it comes to the creation, he is a strong advocate for creativity, always looking for ways for ways to innovate the client's content.

In his free time, Nick is a keen guitarist and bassist, with a strong passion for music, listening to a lot of rock and metal music. His favourite part is playing guitar solos and performing live, an excellent outlet for creativity and a good chance to show off! Music has been a steady part of his life for years and remains his favourite way to switch off and recharge, alongside meeting up with friends and playing card games.

Jake

Jake is the latest addition to the Branding Box team, but is far from new to design. Before he joined us, he had been creating websites for friends and family, which caught the eye of Branding Box when we were after some new talent.

He has a natural instinct for trying things in different ways and enjoys exploring options before settling on what feels right for the project. Most of his time is spent building websites, where he focuses on clear structure, smooth flow and a layout that feels natural to use. He also supports some of our social media clients, bringing fresh ideas to the table. Although he hasn’t been with us long, he fits in well and brings a spark to the office.

Outside of work, Jake enjoys playing video games, card games and watching a bit of anime. He has a broad taste in music, with a mix of indie, alternative, rock and old school rap usually playing in the background.

On his days off, you’ll often find him at music concerts or trying new restaurants with his girlfriend. He enjoys trips to the cinema and likes heading into London or Brighton for a change of pace, though he is just as happy having a cosy day at home when he needs it.
