  Petrel & porpoise design

  Sept 1984 - Sept 2012

  I was the Founder business Partner (of 2) within the company in 1984 having extended an invitation to an unemployed HND graduate friend to join me if no opportunities came his way. We started by specialising in the Arts, theatre promotional material but now more Commercial / Industrial mainstream with a very strong educational presence in Marketing / Literature for Universities and Colleges etc. Work with SME's to large companies / institutions that have included Lloyds Bank, RICS, UMIST, Warwick University, R A Brand Paper, Liverpool Playhouse and Belgrade Theatre, as a flavour, over the years since trading from 1984.(To clarify my CLOSURE of this COMPANY / Partnership, that I imposed with no other option, due to requests I wish to end that have continued to arise: I served notice and terminated this partnership with immediate effect at an appropriate window to allow a clean and tidy exit for all, including clients on-going work and suppliers, due to very serious repeated financial and accounting misconduct by Mr Clitherow over many years with improper use of company cheques to pay large sums into his personal account when in constant large debt difficulties, stealing of petty cash over a 3 year period and deliberate false returns to HMRC along with much earlier false documentation into company accounts when selling a company vehicle to personally profit from (to again clear personal debt) for which he received his first written warning. Mr S Clitherow walked away with no notice or interest part way through the closure and left myself to solely close this business down in a quiet, professional manner over a few months via handling the bank, premise lease and conditions fulfilment, clearance and everything that goes with such a shut down.)
