When we were approached by Alex Reid, who had a life long dream to recreate the cheese he made with his mother 40 years ago we knew this was the start of an exciting project. The passion and enthusiasm that Alex had was infectious. The final brand for Cambus O' May Cheese Company and their range of handmade cheeses has been rolled out in a variety of mediums including packaging, uniforms, vehicle livery, gift boxes and website. The rain did not stop the launch of range at the Aboyne Highland Games, where it proved to be one of the most popular stands of this and previous years.

Tis the season...

Here at EQ, we are an environmentally conscious bunch.

That's why we decided to forgo the usual paper based greetings this year and send a 'tree friendly' christmas e-card instead.

So after only 140 man-hours, 2,500,000 kilowatts of electricity, 5 carbon-footprint busting location shoots around the globe and the use of numerous endangered creatures for target practice, here is our Magnum Opus - let us know what you think!!

Hope you enjoy and remember 'Lego' is not for life, just Christmas!
