New digital strategy for Lingfield Point

When Marchday acquired Lingfield Point in 1998 the Estate had seen no investment for many years and many of the buildings stood vacant
and crumbling. Today Marchday have transformed the site into a dynamic, contemporary business community.

Our brief was simply - “create a digital experience that will change the perception of people who have not visited Lingfield Point recently”. Visit www.lingfieldpoint.co.uk and see whether you think we have been successful.

Mark, Get Set and Go!

‘Mighty’ Mark Latham HMA’s Senior Web Designer is grinning from ear to ear after completing a 10km run and raising £127 for Sport Relief!

Mark, who can regularly be found frequenting the local gym, decided to put his leisure time to good use and run the 10kms on his gym’s treadmill, whilst under the watchful eye of one of the gym instructors.

The 10km or 6 mile run took Mark just under an hour to complete and earned Sport Relief an extra £127, after all at HMA sponsored his good deed.

“I had a real sense of achievement after completing the run for Sport Relief, but I won’t pretend it was easy. I usually only run for 10 minutes at a time so my stamina was really put to the test,” said Mark.

The website was launched recently and is already proving to be a great asset to the company as a pivotal marketing tool as well as the main shop window for this product!

Moving into my eleventh year of producing CGI’s it also allows me to showcase my work within this field with the backing of the SAI ,” said Steve Pickup HMA3D Director.
