Statement
Wakefield based design, digital and marketing agency and Chamber
member Statement, has been awarded the Business of the Month for
September.
Established in 2008, the founding members who
were running an international online retail
business identified a niche in the market to offer
high quality website design and digital services,
ensuring excellent customer service was focused
on which was lacking in the industry at this time.
The business has grown steadily by using this
commercial opportunity to create a design, digital
and marketing agency that was centred not only
around excellent work, but great service as well,
an ethos which remains the key to everything that
Statement does. Operating in the design, digital
and marketing sector they provide a range of
services to SMEs, education, voluntary and public
sector organisations in Wakefield and across
Yorkshire, including the Chamber, Wakefield
College, Peter Jones China, Unique Wakefield
and the Ridings Shopping Centre among others.
They are also actively involved in supporting a
number of charities and digital related projects
which contribute to the local community, including
MY Network Wakefield; the Wakefield Digital &
Creative Community, the Wakefield Literature
Festival, and staff have even ran a marathon to
raise funds for a local hospice.
The judging panel were impressed by the clear
and honest ethos that the firm operates with and
the impressive client list which they have grown
and developed over the years, particularly over
the past 18 months, and with ambitious future
growth plans they are gaining a reputation as one
the leading design, digital and marketing agencies
in the region.

to and contribute to the region, so to receive this
