Lincoln-based design and print specialist Ruddocks has drafted in award-winning agency Shooting Star to deliver its PR following a recent series of big contract wins.

Established in 1884, Ruddocks has been a familiar business on the High Street in Lincoln for many years, but the design and print arm of the business, which operates independently, has steadily been gaining momentum and building a reputation for quality service from a number of local, national and international clients.

Ruddocks’ Brand Director Andy Clayton, said: “We pride ourselves on being able to offer a wide range of design and print services to a variety of customers, from local charities to well known national brands. The appointment of Shooting Star will help us promote all aspects of the work we’re doing and we’re really looking forward to this new partnership.”

Shooting Star supported Ruddocks as the design team prepared to deliver the high-profile rebranding launch of British Steel in June, which included developing the overall brand identity and creating a new logo.

In addition to branding, the team at Ruddocks, whose office is on Great Northern Terrace, is experienced in designing, creating and printing everything from signage to advertising and from brochures to electoral ballot papers.

Kerri Saxby, PR Account Manager at Shooting Star, said: “I am delighted that Ruddocks has come on board as a new client.

“We really enjoyed working with the team during the launch of British Steel and with lots of other exciting projects in the pipeline I’m looking forward to helping them shout about their successes.”

Shooting Star is a PR, marketing and digital agency with offices in Lincoln and Bristol which was founded by directors Kate Strawson and Jez Ashberry in 2006.

Current clients include glass manufacturer Beatson Clark, fresh chilled food producer Freshtime, London-based nursery chain Fennies, Bishop Grosseteste University, British F1 Sidecar Champions Ricky Stevens and Ryan Charlwood, accountants Duncan & Toplis and the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership.
