Creative design and digital agency Toucan has announced it has new contracts for clients at both ends of the British Isles – despite being based in the South West.
The Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney is nearly 900 miles from the Duchy of Cornwall on the Isles of Scilly, but distance is not getting in the way of delivering two major projects.
“Geography is no barrier to working with organisations at the very edge of the country,” said Creative Director Josh Beadon. “But we were slightly surprised that we landed both contracts through word-of-mouth!”
Last year the Two Moors Way – Devon’s Coast to Coast walking route - celebrated its 40th anniversary. A series of improvement works were undertaken and the 115+ mile route, linking two coasts and the South West’s two National Parks, re-launched to celebrate this milestone. Local businesses are now invited to join free workshops to discover how they can benefit from the work as the industry gears up for the new visitor season.
Three workshops will take place along the route at the Simonsbath House Hotel on Exmoor (27 March), The Drewe Arms, Drewsteignton (25 April) and the Watermark...

Symbolic of the the enthusiasms of youth and how the young can disregard the needs of the old, even as the oldreminisce about their youthful enthusiasms. In this mix of dark comedic wordplay and macabre insight, Beckett’s mastery is evident – absurdity in the face of...
