Shortlisted For Big Chip Awards 2006 

Duo Design, one of Manchester’s latest new media design consultancies, has been short-listed for the freelancer/micro enterprise category in the 2006 Big Chip Awards.  Duo Design delivers a range of creative design solutions encompassing editable website design and development, 3D computer visualisation and animation.  

Cris of Duo Design is delighted to have been nominated and said: “For such a small business this is a great achievement and we are looking forward to finding out if we win. We have worked on many high profile projects both directly and in co-operation with other design consultancies for clients such as ICI, Johnson & Johnson, Boots, and Breville and we have only been in business for nearly 4 years.”  

One of the first tenants to Manchester Science Park’s new business-support facility at One Central Park, Duo Design have been developing their business with the help of The Technology Centre’s unique facilities and supportive business environment, which offers comprehensive support for technology-driven enterprises.  

MSP Chief Executive Jane Davies commented: “We are delighted that Duo Design has been shortlisted for the Big Chip awards. It’s great to see that The Technology Centre is really supporting such innovative companies and showing good results just a few months after opening. The facility is clearly fulfilling its aims to stimulate the growth of innovative new businesses by providing strong foundations for future development and innovation.”  

A predominately web-based design consultancy, Duo Design offers clients a high quality design service with real technical ability, developing and delivering comprehensive online business solutions. Duo’s easy edit website system, produces editable websites for the engineering sector, property developers, several charities, the public sector and education. The system has been developed in response to the growing need by clients to update and maintain their own online facilities, empowering the website owner and creating a solid sustainable business solution.
