Single Malt Design has been successful in the Best Creative, Digital and Media Business category, at the E3 Business Awards.

The Kirkby Lonsdale company found out that they made the final four in May.

The E3 Business Awards were launched in 2013 and recognise and reward business excellence in the north west, particularly on the part of organisations that have shown a real investment in enterprise, education and employment (E3).

The company designs print and web for a range of clients including Channel 4, ITV, and Manchester Airports Group.

Director, John Porter, said: "Operating as a boutique agency, we are able to work very closely with our clients so that we can truly understand the organisation and it’s needs, rather than operating as a totally external creative company.

"Our clients look at us as an extension of their team, and trust us with work that is key to their organisational needs. It’s often the case that our work starts with one contact within a business and then extends across the entire organisation."

Mr Porter added: "We are delighted to pick up this award as recognition of our hard work in such a competitive industry. It really is down to our excellent team and we are so proud of them".

The winning companies and individuals also came from Cheshire, Merseyside and Manchester.
