Branding & Web Design for Pegbox Ltd

Transforming an emerging technical recruitment consultancy into a credible, distinctive brand for international specialist industries

Based in Southampton, Pegbox Ltd supplies specialist talent to some of the most dynamic sectors worldwide: Motorsport & Automotive, Aerospace & Aviation, Manufacturing & Engineering, and Automation & Smart Technologies.

Founded just a year earlier, Pegbox’s ambitious founder Ed needed to strengthen its credibility in a highly competitive market. Recognising the need for a stronger brand presence, he asked us to help reposition Pegbox with a clear, professional identity that reflected its expertise and international ambitions. We delivered a full brand strategy, refreshed visual identity, comprehensive brand guidelines, and an SEO-optimised WordPress website to help the business stand out.

Our Approach

In recruitment, trust drives lasting partnerships. Pegbox’s DIY logo and monochrome palette looked generic and didn’t convey the energy or expertise behind the business.

We started with a strategy consultation to define Pegbox’s positioning across its specialist sectors. Inspired by the curves and kerbs of a race track, we designed an animated logo that conveys movement, precision and a subtle nod to the company name. A fresh gradient blue paired with complementary orange adds personality and impact across all touchpoints, from the website to social media templates and marketing materials.

Alongside the new visual identity, we produced brand guidelines, social media templates, and a clean, SEO-friendly WordPress website that transformed Pegbox’s image and created a seamless experience for clients and candidates alike.

The Outcome

Client feedback on the new brand identity and website has been overwhelmingly positive, and Pegbox has already secured a major new client off the back of its refreshed image.

The rebrand transformed Pegbox from an under-the-radar start-up into a recognised and respected name in the technical recruitment industry. Since the relaunch Pegbox has gained new clients, expanded its team and earned a reputation as a leading player across its specialist markets.

"Ed had built a promising start-up, but the original branding didn’t reflect the expertise and ambition of the business. A strong visual identity is more than just a logo: it signals professionalism and trust. By repositioning Pegbox with a clear, confident brand, we helped the business attract new clients, grow its team, and establish itself as a recognised leader in technical recruitment.”
