DESIGN consultancy Touchpaper has launched a new concept in portable creative services, writes David Duffy.

The firm, which has offices in Abingdon and Cheltenham, said its Flying Studio was particularly suitable for jobs such as annual reports, product catalogues, general corporate literature and web and multi-media work.

Managing director Clive Hetherington said: "Many of our clients need work completed quickly and in confidence.

When we pitched the idea of taking our skilled team to them to set up a working design unit on site they were immediately enthusiastic.

"We bring our own workstations, stay only for the duration of the job and offer a professional design service in-house."

Touchpaper's client list includes hi-tech companies such as software giant Microsoft, electronics firms Hitachi and Panasonic, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Natural History Museum.
