News: How design increased sales for Rotherham firm

Rotherham-based energy efficiency company Energy Management Systems Ltd (EMS) have benefited from a Business Link scheme aimed at using design to boost business. Working with the Design Council and with funding from Yorkshire Forward, Business Link South Yorkshire launched the Design Works programme in January 2006 as the first of its kind in the country. EMS managing director Alex Mardapittas told The Star: "We've developed a new range of products that we wanted to market as effectively as our consultancy service, so we approached Design Works to help us with a rebrand. "As a result, sales have increased month on month and we've been able to recoup the design investment from interest generated by the website and brochure within just three months."
