Vicky at Gravic Design is brilliant! She’s done all my marketing material too 😊

Back October 2021 I started to work with the Army Rugby Union on various different projects.

One of the first projects was to design & produce a branded tablecloth that could be used at match day presentations & alike.

Last week I was kindly sent a photo of the tablecloth in action at the Corps Finals on 18th May, a beautiful sunny day in Aldershot.

I’m pleased it looks really good alongside the pitch flag, trophy & awards.

Once again thank you to the Army Rugby Union for giving me the opportunity to work with you.
It combines my work with 2 of my favourite things, rugby & our Armed Forces.
