HARTFORD-based Parker Design Consultants have just been named best UK agency for 'Print Design', at the annual national RAR Awards.

RAR (Recommended Agencies Register) is the advertising and design industry's self governing body. They announced the winners at their annual dinner in April at the Marriott Hotel, London.

Nominations were invited from the existing clients of any UK advertising and design agency.

Parker Design Consultants scooped the coveted award after some of their long standing clients – including Sage, United Utilities, Astra Zeneca and UK Fuels put forward their votes for design work created for them over the past twelve months.

Andi Parker, managing director, said: "Beating ten other finalists in the Print Design category, including well known national agencies from all over the UK was a very proud moment for the team here.

“Everyone pulls together to make sure our clients get the best service possible on every project. Voting for us means they know we really do deliver for them. We're absolutely delighted with the award.”
