Southampton Branch has cast off and is underway!

Date Posted: 27/11/08

A steering group led by Sally Lynskey, Chief Executive of Business Southampton www.businesssouthampton.com includes representatives from University of Southampton; Southampton City Council; Solent Centre for Architecture, architects lhc; communication group Lawton, strategic marketing consultants, Greenfield; marketing communication specialists, Carswell Gould; marine engineers Yellowfin; and landscape and interior designers Francoise Murat & Associates.
Work has started on expanding SCDF membership in the Southampton area. Indeed an exciting collaboration is already underway; SCDF is supporting the establishment of a ‘Design Centre’ at the University of Southampton.
The Southampton group will hope to add a product and manufacturing element, based on its world renowned marine skills, to SCDF, complementing our growing reputation in the built environment and graphic design areas.
The aim is to formally launch the branch with a bit of style early in 2009.
Designers and enthusiasts who want to be involved at the beginning of this exciting venture should email the Forum Director Peter Spence pspence@scdf.org.uk
