Meet our newest team member, Daniel Forbes!

Client spotlight: Interocean
We’ve been working with Interocean since 2024, delivering branded items that support a strong professional identity and keep the brand consistent across everyday use.
Take a look at the latest order included a branded merchandise suite, featuring:
🔴 Notebooks
🔴 Pens
🔴 Snoods
🔴 Presentation packaging boxes
🔴 Water bottles
These kinds of branded packs are a simple but effective way to create a more polished, consistent feel, whether they’re being used internally, shared at events or gifted to clients and partners.
Designed to stand out:
Exhibition visuals for Control Valve Solutions
XIC supported Control Valve Solutions (CVS) with exhibition stand branding and visuals, helping it create a strong, confident presence for industry audiences. Check out what CVS Managing Director, Mick Beavers, had to say ⬇️
“We were absolutely delighted with the branding and stand design delivered by XIC. From the outset, the team took the time to understand not just our business, but our culture, values and the environments we operate in. That insight was reflected clearly in the final design, which felt authentic to Control Valve Solutions and aligned perfectly with how we want to present ourselves to the industry. The process was professional, collaborative and well managed throughout. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend XIC.”
Hardwearing print for
life-saving rules
We worked with Peterhead Port Authority for the design and print of durable safety materials, created to keep its Life Saving Rules clear, visible and easy to reference across the workforce. With teams operating both outdoors and in office environments, we produced robust, water-resistant items that help reinforce key messaging day to day, supporting a stronger safety culture across sites.
Workspace upgrades for Drager
Drager wanted its warehouse racking to look more polished and consistent, especially when visitors and delegates are shown around the facility. With that in mind, we designed clean, branded ACM panels using a balance of graphics and messaging to reduce visual clutter and elevate the look of the space. Following a successful first install, Drager has since added more panels to expand the theme across additional racking, creating a smarter environment that supports both client tours and brand presentation.
