Five design companies within the United Kingdom

While researching for the top five UK design companies i came across a website that listed the top 50 - Design Intellect. I scanned through the website to find 5 companies that i like some work that they have completed.

The first company i came across was All of US....

Formed in October 2003, AllofUs is a truly multi-disciplinary interactive design consultancy. There ultimate aim is to improve the way their clients and the audience connect by interactive media, technologies and communication channels.

While looking on their site i found out that they were worked with sky to bring sky player to the xbox.

AllofUs helped sky put the full range of their on-demand, catch-up and live TV at the fingertips of console owners. In 2010, they integrated Microsoft’s Kinect technology, allowing users to control Sky Player by gesture and voice.

AllofUs have completed work for a range of companies such as Renault, Playstation and even the BBC.

The second company that i came across was Checkland and Kindleysides...

In three decades of designing, Checkland and Kindleysides have grown with creative diversity and an ability to create work that is physically and commercially successful.

While looking through their work i found out that they did the rebranding for Bentley.

As well as doing work for Bently Checkland and Kindleysides also completed work for companies such as Matalan, HSBC and Sony Ericsson.

While searching through design intellect i also found the following three companies;



Over 25 years of experience in the design and draining industry, Design Bridge now work in over 40 countries across the globe and employ people from all over the world.

One of the work that i liked from Design Bridge was their rebranding of Tiger beer. As well as rebranding Design Bridge also have to make sure that Tiger beer never lose its relevance to the young asian consumers.

As well as doing work for Tiger beer, Design Bridge have also completed work for companies such as Nestle, KFC and many more.


In 1989 Elmwood became an independent design company, opening their first studio in West Yorkshire and now recently opening one in Singapore. From winning international design awards to rebranding companies Elmwood have defiantly achieved the right to be with in the top 50 design companies in the UK.

One of their most recognising work that many people don't know is the rebranding and redesigning of durex and its packages.

Elmwood have also completed work for companies such as The FA, BBC, Asda and The MET Office.

Rufus Leonard...

They have work with leading brands, major multinational corporations. Companies they claim 'your mum will have heard of'. These are including a market-leading telecoms brand, Britain's biggest energy supplier, one of Whitehall's premier departments, a leading international children's charity and the UK's largest retail banking group.

From viewing Rufus Leonard's online portfolio i found that they played a pivotal role in updating the Churchill, by completely transforming the website and simplifying the process from quote to purchase. They claim 'By developing web initiatives through new online channels, they not only helped Churchill interact with existing customers, but also reach out to new audiences, in a cluttered and competitive marketplace'.
