Helping British Talent take off

British Airways has launched a new site, aimed at encouraging talented Britons to reach for their dreams. As the official airline partner of the London 2012 Games, British Airways has launched a programme called Great Britons, which will help and inspire people in the UK to be the best they can be. The scheme will look for individuals who demonstrate the values associated with Olympic and Paralympic Games and who strive to be the best, whether their passion is in sport, music, fashion, performing arts, art and design, innovation, or community. BA is giving away 180 flights, to British Airways destinations, to talented individuals and groups. It is open to everyone (16 and above and UK residents) who need support to develop their talent in any field. Lucky winners will also have access to luxury Executive Club lounges, and each will be given a winner’s pack which includes a camcorder, perfect for recording their amazing adventure. Take a look and see if you could be a Great Briton.

New recruits to Team Lavish

We are so happy to announce that we've added some new top-talent to the Lavish team in the past week or so. We are really looking forward to working again with Tim, who is a senior digital creative. A skilled digital designer, motion graphics design/artist and audio/visual specialist - there's not much digital work that Tim hasn't done. Clementine joins us permanently on 1 September, having freelanced with us for the past year. Clem graduated from Central St Martins with a degree in graphic design. Since studying she has worked freelance on design and illustration commissions for a varied client base and her work has featured in branding, on advertising campaigns, wallpaper and product lines, book jackets and set designs. And Allan, our 3D and Photoshop guru is now based in-house with us at Smokehouse Yard. I think we might be looking for new offices in the very near future.....
