Our journey started back in 2013 when out of a bad situation came a fantastic opportunity
We're a small business too
here's our story.....
In the beginning it was just me, my custom built PC and a Twitter account with no followers!
Kevin Swindell
Creative Director
In 2016 we moved into our new studio in Weymouth, removing the need to hide the washing before client meetings!
My good friend and fellow ‘Prontaprinter’ Sammy joined me in 2017, doubling the workforce and doubling the creativity!
Sammy Birch
Social Media Marketing
In 2022 we celebrated our 9th year in business – planning for a special 10th celebration is already underway!
Kevin Swindell
Creative Director
Creative wizard, genius, mad as a box of frogs, I’ve been called many things over the years but my birth name is Kevin and I’m just an ordinary guy with a passion for helping people.
My journey in design started way back in 1992 when I was accepted into The Bournemouth School for Graphic Design, now called Arts University Bournemouth. There I learnt the basics of design, design science and developed my obsession for typography!
Following years in the printing industry, in 2013 I was made redundant from my Marketing Manager role and decided to start up on my own. The rest, as they say, is history!
When I’m not making things look pretty I’m hurtling down hills and zipping through forest trails on my e-bike, and taking photos with my ever growing collection of camera gear – not at the same time though, although…
Sammy Birch
Digital Marketing Manager
I’ve worked with Kev for over 5 years, but really, it all began more than 20 years ago when we first worked together at Prontaprint and soon became good friends.
As the business grew, I initially came onboard to help with the admin side of things but quickly moved on to what I really love – writing!
From managing social media accounts and running ad campaigns to writing the content for entire websites. If you need help finding the right words, I’m your gal!
When I’m not busy with my two boys or out with friends, I have plenty of hobbies to keep me entertained. Right now it’s finally getting round to reading The Thursday Murder Club series and creating some new artwork for the house!
A creative brain and an incredible eye for detail, combined we make a formidable team!

Kev and Sammy are just fantastic. They help me out when I haven’t a clue! Kev has got me out of a few situations I couldn’t make head or tail of. They look after my website which is a thankless task. When I need printing done these are my go to guys. Fantastic service

Kevin looks like an ordinary guy, but don’t be fooled. He has superpowers to deliver your website aspirations on time, with spot on functionality, expertise, and great creative design. What’s more he communicates without the use of geek. It is a pleasure to work with Kevin and his team.

I cannot recommend Kevin and Sammy enough.
They both listened to exactly everything I wanted when designing my logo, and it surpassed my expectations.
Thanks once again for my beautiful Logo.

I've worked with Wyke Creative across a number of projects in recent years; for an eclectic range of clients across brand design, website development and print - most recently in my marketing & PR role at Girlings Complete Hearing and The Microsuction Company. It's always a pleasure to collaborate with Kevin and his team. The end results speak for themselves and I look forward to the next project!

At the Dorset Hideaway we would just like to take this opportunity to thank Kevin & the Team for all their sterling help and support this particularly difficult year, especially for hospitality businesses. They have been there all the way helping, advising and guiding. We love our website that they designed and cannot fault the attention to detail. We are constantly being given praise and feedback for the modern feel to it and how it is easy to navigate and obtain the information the customer needs. Such is the trust in the business relationship that has evolved they now have licence to edit and write website content - trust me not easily or readily given! When it is your livelihood and personal investment at stake you cannot flippantly hand that over to just anyone or some corporate faceless or dare I say it offshore company! Kevin's professional eye to what is right for your business overrides the financial gain often to his disadvantage - recently we wanted to overhaul the website with considerable cost he advised me against such drastic action and he was right all that was needed was some tweeking and we are there back loving our website. They are always there at the end of the phone to listen & advise. Wouldn't trust our business with anyone else and they are local which is hugely important to us. Questionable sense of humour but other than that no complaints! 🙂
