British Motor Show Competition Winner
The winner of this summer’s ‘Vehicle Wrap Makeover’ competition, which run throughout the British Motor Show at London Excel and received over a 1,000 entries, has finally collected his fantastic prize.
Ian Clements of Pleshey Forge, received his fully wrapped Peugeot Partner van, fully wrapped in a freshly designed full colour vehicle wrap. This fantastic mobile advertisement for his business will enable him to reinforce his company’s unique products and services, whilst travelling across Essex, through the power of vehicle wrapping.
As part of the competition winning package, the Raccoon creative team worked closely with Clements to create a fresh new brand style for Pleshey Forge, something that he is now keen to adopt across his other marketing collateral, including brochures and website. Not only do Pleshey Forge have the benefit of a fantastic outdoor marketing tool for their business, but also a fantastic workhorse that will enable them to provide an even better collection and delivery service to their customers throughout Essex.

The success and interest in our ‘Vehicle Wrap Makeover’ competition has been so great that we hope to run another in early 2009.
Raccoon Win ‘2008 Vehicle Graphic of the Year’ Award
For an unprecedented fourth time in a row, Raccoon won ‘Vehicle Graphic of the Year’ at the 2008 Sign Industry Awards.
Our entry for the wrapping of a series of Tuk Tuk’s for the launch of Bollywood movie ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ was deemed to hold a unique position amongst the judging panel for both its visual appearance and technical aspects.
The project was carried out by the Raccoon (Hampshire) team for Southampton Tuk Tuk importer and entrepreneur ‘Mr Steve’, and was unique in many ways. The attention to detail that went into both the graphic production and vinyl application was unsurpassed in both its precision and technique.
The Tuk’s Tuk’s were an integral part of the movie’s premiere in central London, and this project confirmed, once again, that Raccoon is the UK’s No.1 vehicle wrapping company.

Raccoon Exhibit at Kent Truckfest ‘08!
Raccoon’s presence at Truckfest was a great success with over 40,000 visitors to the Kent County Showground over the two days and our stand proved to be very popular.
In fact, we even attracted some local celebrities!
Martin, our director, met Barry from Eastenders and Milli who helped out on the stand, was quick to get chatting to David Platt from Coronation Street and Chico from X Factor!
Over the weekend we held a free prize draw with a free wrap up for grabs. We had over 200 entrants and the lucky winner was Matt Browning from Brighton. Matt’s car can be seen fully wrapped at our next exhibition at Westwood Cross in Broadstairs on the 19th and 20th July 2008.
Matt’s new fully wrapped car, a Nissan Skyline, has instantly caught the eye of the custom car fraternity in the south east, and ‘Fast Car’ magazine have shown a keen interest as well, promising to feature it in their next issue. The whole event has definitely put Raccoon on the map in Kent!
