On this occasion, National Trust requested I design a visitor welcome guide for one of their Welsh properties, Erddig Hall and Gardens, in Wrexham.

As well as a map and walking guide of Erddig and its grounds, the visitor guide design encompassed the family history of days gone by – how the family lived, family relationships with staff at Erddig, as well as the family’s warmth in welcoming locals to Erddig house and gardens for all to explore and enjoy.

Yates and Co requested a brochure design that would appeal to a broader market, attracting a younger audience, whilst retaining the assurance of their professional services to existing and returning clients. They wanted to display a printed version in-house to hand out at client meetings, as well as a downloadable digital brochure.

A major part of their professional work is advice based, involving talking and listening to client requirements before guiding them towards the best financial advice. Yates & Co provided written content for each of their services, which I revised and adapted to read fluidly in layman’s terms.
