A MAKEOVER for a young business in York has sparked a flurry of new contracts for the firm.

Climatize UK, established in York six months ago by Byron Ward and Johnny Vintis, supplies, installs and maintains air conditioning, heating, ventilation, refrigeration, electrical and heat pump systems for commercial, domestic and industrial buildings.

With a new-look and literature created in only two weeks by York-based marketing agency The Partners Group, what was a growing venture took on an extra fillip.

The firm has had to take on two new engineers as it is about to start work on a coffee shop and retail outlet in York Hospital, an office block in Knaresborough and has signed maintenance contracts with three new customers in a fortnight.

Johnny said: “We’re getting more and more demand for our services, so we decided to bring in professionals and rebrand the business, create a logo with impact and information packs that would help us stand out from the crowd.”

The designs were completed within two weeks to allow them to display their “new look” at a trade show.

“It meant we could attend the exhibition with a new look and professional literature that does our business justice – and we can start promoting Climatize UK with confidence this month and next, highlighting our special discounted rates and promotional offers using the new branding.

Darren Willis, senior designer at the Partners Group, said: “We worked very well together to create the new identity, literature and stationery for the business.”
