In February, award-winning creative agency GEL Studios announced exciting plans to move to a new studio based in South Marston.
Following an extensive renovation of a former farmhouse, the team at GEL Studios who specialise in ‘creating truly bespoke websites, beautiful graphics and branding, and meaningful marketing’ have now moved in and have started welcoming clients, enquiries, and members of the community into the state-of-the-art studio.
Having recently become B Corp Certified, GEL Studios was keen to make their new offices as sustainable as possible, using local tradespeople, environmentally friendly materials, and installing efficient energy systems. As a B Corp, GEL Studios is now part of a global community of businesses that meet high social and environmental impact standards.
GEL Studios worked with local workplace interior designer, Debbie Watts, from Ashlar-ID and local tradespeople to renovate the building within five weeks.
At a time when remote working has been adopted by many employers, the goal of GEL Studios’ new workspace is to bring people together and encourage face-to-face collaboration and conversations.
The culture at the agency is focused on teamwork, collaborating with clients and peers, and creating positive change. This investment into the team and its premises is set to make a massive difference to the business and its clients.
Graeme Leighfield, Managing Director of GEL Studios said: “Swindon has been GEL Studio’s home for 10 years this summer, and being able to open this office in time for the tenth anniversary is a milestone in itself. We are very excited to have opened our state-of-the-art studios so quickly. It is a testament to the team of experts we turned to, to turn this project from a vision to reality.
“As our studio, team, and clients grow, our commitment to do good for our local community grows too. While many businesses look to downsize or close their offices completely, we’re committed to playing an active part in Swindon’s community for years to come.”
