Melanie Parker

Managing Director, Graft Talent

Graft is 3 years old now and we needed a website to reflect our Grafters and Community. We stayed true to our believes of using northern talent and we selected the awesome Bold Identities. I met Rich Evans (Bold Director) whilst I was setting up Graft Talent 3 years ago and promised when I could afford too I would be back to use Bold. I stuck to my promise Rich! A special shout out to Aaron Cope who has been an absolute legend and also happens to be a Leeds Beckett Uni Student who remembers me doing a lecture on employability when I was at LBU!

Marketing Manager, Thor Companies

I had the pleasure of working with Bold to develop our new website, which was a true success. Collaborating with the project management guys was an incredible experience - always professional, service-minded and with the ability to solve all our business problems to deliver an excellent end product. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a website partner!

James Hinsley

Managing Director, Synchro

I'm really excited to launch our new website, months of hard work has gone into the build and it's now the perfect place to showcase what we do and why we do it. We've grown so much over the last 4 years and this solidifies the moves we've made in building the brand and the business into 2021 and beyond. Bold created it so you can find everything from what we do for our clients and the Synchro Community to our values, services and our epic team. A huge thank you to the guys over at Bold for helping us achieve this. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Joey Tait

Managing Director, Develop

We worked with Bold on a full brand creation project from scratch. They helped us define our brand strategy and core brand messages (everything from our DNA and positioning to our mission/vision). Their team then created our visual identity and built our new website. We couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Laura Quinn

Business Support Manager, Burman

We were initially introduced to the brand and strategy team who were amazing, he came up with all our branding identity and looked at things in a way that we had not experienced before and gave us a total refresh. We were then passed over to the project management team and couldn’t praise them enough. They are always responsive, very personable and always reply to my emails very quickly and happy to set up a call whenever I have a question. We are also working on a new project with Bold, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. They look further into audience perception than any other company that just pick some colours and random imagery and just pop it on a page and this improved our user experience massively. They had a lot of ideas and gave us everything we were looking for. In the design process, they were happy to make all edits and are still always happy to help now post-launch. We have enjoyed working with Bold so much we enlisted them for a new project! They feel like a part of our team and they get our brand which was important to us from the beginning.

Dominic Coyne

Director, Build Space

We have just completed a massive rebrand of our business in partnership with Bold. The brand development and website development processes were a doddle. The chaps tuned in to our company culture and concept from day one and it was a pleasure working with the Bold Identities guys throughout. We are chuffed to bits with our finished product, it is spot on and the feedback from clients has been amazing.

Chris Peace

Managing Director, Peace Recruitment Group

The whole team at Bold take the time to really understand your business and what the end goal is. For us they managed an entire re-brand from start to finish including a new website build. They are there with you every step of the way and the attention they give to your project is amazing. We finished the project on time, on budget and personally I am delighted with the end result. We added a lot of new technology to our website and any technical challenges were greeted with a "can do attitude". You won't be disappointed. They talk the talk, but importantly also walk the walk.

Back

Tom Johnson

Marketing Manager, Stopgap

We engaged Bold well over a year ago with tentative thoughts on developing our website inline with some brand updates. Despite the build phase of the project being interrupted somewhat by COVID-19 once we were into the build fully and led by the Tech Lead and the Technical PM, again the experience was brilliant. Our technical set up is quite complex, with a very bespoke integration required and the Bold team took as long as was needed to really understand the requirements and technical features. No website build is ever smooth, but I can't recommend the Bold team enough, not only do they know their stuff but they are lovely guys, very down to earth and great to work with. We're looking forward to a really great ongoing relationship!

Alex Taylor

Marketing Manager, Big Red Recruitment

When we chose Bold as our website partner for an ambitious rebrand, we had two key considerations: 1) Preserving 20+ years of legacy brand identity. 2) Creating a futureproof digital brand to wow our candidates, clients, and future partners. Bold are a joy to work with and went the extra mile to ensure we had exactly what we needed. I want to personally thank Aaron and Kylie - Aaron for his excellent project direction and firefighting, and Kylie for her consistent high-quality support. We are now reaping the benefits of an authentic, high-quality recruitment brand we are extremely proud of. Thank you all!

Bold were a pleasure to work with from start to finish and made the whole process of getting a new website straightforward.

Group Marketing Manager, Elizabeth Michael Associates

Bold simultaneously undertook the construction of 2 website’s for our group and I was thoroughly impressed with the process from start to finish. They were patient in listening to our many requests on the design and functionality front, whilst offering expert advice and input along the way. It’s always a pleasure to work with people who not only deliver on everything they promise but do so in a friendly and agreeable manner. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering their services.

Well what can I say about the project managers for my new website, client portal, talent vault and client microsites project. They helped me navigate a very complex process with the minimum of fuss, no request was too small.

So great. www.oddshoes.net will tell you why I'm so happy!

Charlotte Chadd

Digital Marketing Executive, Climate17

Bold have been our website partners since 2020, when we first approached them for a templated website. When the time came for us to look into having a bespoke website designed, Bold were our natural, well-trusted choice! The Project Management team (with special shout outs to Kylie and Aaron!) were pivotal in helping us deliver our vision, a beautiful redesign that reflected our growing brand and evolving services. We’ve had excellent feedback from clients and candidates alike, and it’s had a tremendous impact on our conversions, especially applications and lead generation. Bold’s ongoing support has also been invaluable – they are super speedy at getting to the bottom of any technical issues or making tweaks or additions to the website. A huge thank you to the whole Bold team for your patience and dedication throughout the project – it was (and continues to be!) a pleasure to work with you!

We had been putting off rebranding for years until we were referred to Bold. We worked with Sam and Chris and found them to be engaging and quick to offer structured advice.

"We recently rejuvenated our branding and next on the list going into 2022 was to partner with a web development agency to build us a new site. After some great consultations with Bold, we decided they were the best option for the Keepers brand. They brought our ideas to life. Taking our new branding and incorporating it into a snappy and punchy four-page website. Can’t thank the team enough for how easily they catered to our requirements and helped us arrive at the outcome (which we weren’t entirely sure what that looked like at the beginning)! We’re over the moon!"

Richard Edwards

Director, Expand

I rarely give recommendations, in fact I think since 2002 this might be my first. This probably says a lot about the level of service we have received from the Project Management team who have provided constant support throughout our engagement with Bold. They have been pivotal in helping us navigate a very tricky process with too many stakeholders who had very different ideas and challenging expectations. Every time we were jumping off the bus they gently nudged us back on, sat us down and made sure we were comfortable with the journey. Without them we would never have arrived at what is an amazing destination. I would wholeheartedly recommend Bold to anyone.

Alistair Tulloch

Director, Vetro Recruitment

Our old website was tired and didn't really flow. We spoke to a number of web developers but from our first meeting with Bold, we knew they were the right team for us. We had very detailed meetings around what we wanted, themes, designs etc and then they went off and did their thing. I really liked the design process as we signed off on each page before we moved on to the next. The feedback we have had from our clients and candidates since the site went live has been amazing. We have also seen far more applications coming from the site. The support from the team post-go live has also been second to none, they are quick to action any requests such as new pages or tweaks to existing pages. I thoroughly recommend the Bold team to anyone looking for a new website.

Avanti engaged Bold with two clear objectives – to help us deliver a whole new brand identity and build a new bespoke website that represented the brand we are today. From the outset they were able to work with us at a strategic level to help us define our brand strategy which included our vision, DNA and positioning to enable us to create a brand that resonated with our customers.

Thanks again Bold for all your help.

When we started looking at our brand and website rebuild we reviewed a number of possible providers and decided to choose Bold due to their open and flexible approach with a great product and additional options such as Microsites which really worked for our business. As with any project of this nature, there were challenges along the way, but I found Bold did everything they could to keep delivering and make changes where they needed to be made. The product is proving to be great, really easy to use, and the features are excellent.

Dan Perkin

Director, Spark

I wanted to undergo a full rebrand for my company - business name and all. I felt the need to bring some excitement to the sales recruitment process due to the notion it has too many of it not being an attractive role because of its high level of staff turnover. Bold helped me execute it to a tee. Spark - the clue is in the name! In view of the fact that I wanted to signify our prowess in one of the most difficult roles to fill on the job market, rather than have listings on the site like other sales recruiters, I felt the key objective of the site for me was to inspire visitors to get in touch with their potential clients, so we could continue our mission of bringing excitement to the sales recruitment process (it is sales after all)! What better way to show that enthusiasm and expertise than to speak directly with those scratching their heads looking for a different approach to their long-term reoccurring problem. Bold understood all of this from the get-go which gave me so much faith for the project as soon as we got out the blocks which was only proven by how much impact the new site and rebrand has been since we launched. I can't thank the team at Bold enough!

I had an amazing experience with the Bold team. In developing a new brand for our construction division we wanted to get away from "cookie cutter" mold of what the most website in our industry looked like. After speaking with Bold and working with the team it became evident that they were the obvious choice for this task. They brought a fresh perspective from development to aesthetics, they are highly accommodating and just great people to work with. It was a relief to see how they worked their process worked around our needs. They were able to handle some fairly complex integrations and are always available and very willing to help with tweaks here when needed. The end result - a website presence we are extremely happy with for our Field Talent brand. Bold definitely lives up to their name and the experience working with them is bar none. Thanks team!

BOLD ticked all of these boxes. Not only were they all of the above but their follow up and continued support following the sites live date has been thorough and greatly appreciated.

For our www.talentcrew.co.uk brand refresh and new website, we researched many potential suppliers plus a wider network of recruitment companies that had recently done the same.

Adrian Kinnersley

Founder, twentyAI

Twenty embarked on a total rebrand to bring our proprietary tech to the front and centre of our brand. We knew we’d be a pain in the *** to deal with due to our ludicrous expectations and therefore looked for a partner that could manage us and meet those expectations. As part of the rebrand, we didn’t want a traditional looking recruitment website but also needed to hit all the key aspects such as a CRM integrated job board. We threw some additional curveballs into the mix with our international locations and needed some content to be the same and some localised. We also wanted a mascot for our AI tech. Bold patiently took us through a discovery process and introduced us to copywriters alongside their designers to ensure the language and visuals were all on point. I’m still not totally certain how we arrived at the end product but we are very happy with it and proud that our brand is now an accurate representation of our business, our tech and most importantly our people. I think we may have knocked a few years off some of the team's life at Bold but it was all worth it (for us anyway)!

With the mission of taking our website from one of the worst to one of the best in the industry, I needed to source a digital partner that was up to the task. Needing a specialist, I began speaking with lots of businesses specifically in the recruitment website design industry. I spoke with big and small companies and didn’t consider budget in the process. It was about getting a partner that understood what I needed to achieve from the site, was innovative and could add value to my ideas – that was how I found the amazing team at BOLD! The team at Bold managed a full bespoke website creation and a brand identity refresh for us here at Luton Bennett. From the get go it was obvious that I had made the right decision! I love everything that they have done for us. From initial briefing to launch, working with the team at BOLD has been a great experience.
