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. For more information on Pleshey Forge, an established family run business based in Chelmsford, please visit: www.plesheyforgeltd.co.uk   

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.

First thing on a grey October Monday morning, and we begin rebranding the  first of 50 Npower vans.  Planned with military precision, the van drivers arrive and swap their tired old vans for a temporary hire van whilst we apply the new Npower livery.  Just two days later, they pick up their newly rebranded and thoroughly polished new-look vehicle.

Having completed the Raccoon intensive training programme, Raccoon Lancashire opened for business on 3^rd September.  Steve Whittle and technical team John Prescott and Martin Ashall are poised to provide a first class vehicle branding service!
