CFH saving the world one design at a time. Remember back in 1997 (or thereabouts) and the advent of the ‘paperless office’? Or that magazines, books and newspapers would be consigned to history? By 2007 we’d all be viewing and reading on screens or monitors... OK, we do use electronic media more and more these days, thanks to iPads and Kindles. It’s quite convenient for certain things. Technology is better. Speeds are quicker. Quality has improved. But how many people still print out emails, mailings or electronic ‘brochures’? Loads, that’s how many. Because it’s easier to read on a sheet of paper and because people are tactile. That’s why printed literature is still so very important to any serious branded business that needs to communicate its product range and brand personality. The quality of the paper stock, its feel, its touch. The impact of superb photography and typography. Sure, technology is great at making print more cost-effectively niche and personalised than ever before. Which is great. We can do high quality, low volume print so much better than 10 years ago. And make your print budget go further with much less wastage. After all, nobody wants boxes and boxes of out-of-date company brochures cluttering up their marketing department do they? Print will never die. It’ll just turn over a new leaf.

CFH PHOTOGRAPHY
“take a picture, it lasts longer!” With our own in-house 2000 square foot photographic studio we have the perfect space for roomsets, pack shots, clothing… in fact anything studio based really. If you have a look at the rest of the portfolio, you’ll also get a feel for the kind of location work we’ve covered. Everything from mountain tops to sandy beaches, and dirt roads to luxurious penthouse apartments. We’re very experienced at working with models of all ages too, both UK and abroad. So we understand all the issues with buyouts versus usage fees, and the importance of photographer copyright, model releases and contracts.

CFH WEB PROGRAMMING AND DESIGN
allthew’s dotcfhde signdot codotuk Ultra Group website
Anyone can design a website these days, just as anyone can build their own house. But without the right skills, tools and know-how, your website could look as bad as the house that jack built. And would probably fall over just as quickly. So, get CFH to do it. We’ve been building websites longer than most. We know what makes a good design, but we also understand how to make that great creative idea work on the web. Rich content that doesn’t chew up your bandwidth. Great visuals and graphics you can actually read, see or watch. Ecommerce sites that are easy to shop, so your customers don’t ‘walk next door’ for a better shopping experience. And we’ll make sure your site appears in the searches your customers are using. We know all about alt tags, meta tags, swing tags and dog tags…just checking to see if you’re still reading this…? You are, aren’t you! Great, then we know how to keep your attention too. Once customers are on our sites, they tend to stay there that bit longer. So, if anyone knows of a builder named Jack, tell him we’d like to build a website for him.

e are real exhibitionists, so we have our own in-house team to handle every aspect of your exhibition requirements, whatever the size, shape or location.
With over 25 years’ experience in designing and building exhibition stands, we’d like to think that there’s very little we don’t know. Before we start anything, we take the same brand overview as we would for any other kind of high-profile brand project. Once we know what and how we need to communicate, we can start to turn our ideas into a practical, feasible and cost-effective exhibition stand.
CFH EXHIBITIONS / SHOP FITTING / INTERIORS
We don’t just take a ‘single show’ viewpoint either. We look at the longer term to see if we can maximise the stand expenditure and usage to really make the budget and the stand pay for itself over the course of several shows. We’ve handled some pretty major projects over the years, in a variety of locations throughout Europe. We know the major venues like the backs of our hands, and all the timescales and shortcuts required to be at the front of the queues when it’s time to build-up or pull-down the stands. Leaving plenty of time to get a trouble-free stand built that wows clients, their customers and exhibition stand judges alike. Just give us the challenge and let us get on with it. There’s nothing we enjoy more.
