introduction
When you sit down with the friendly team atTap Creative Design Agency in St Albans you
probably won’t have a very clear idea what your final design is going to look like. And we won’t
have a preconceived picture either.
Your project starts with you, a blank canvas and infinite possibilities. That’s how we create
what’s right for our clients, whether that be print related design such as a brochure, a magazine
advertisement or a complete new corporate image and logo. Or interactive multimedia such as
websites, flash games, and interactive multimedia.
In the design world this isn’t exactly conventional thinking. Some designers find it much easier
to give you “one we made earlier.” We prefer to push the boundaries, and explore unexpected,
unusual directions.
When you work with us you’ll tap into the skill, confidence and experience to challenge
conventional thinking. It’s an exciting process for our designers and for you. And it’s one of the
things that keeps our clients coming back to us.
Tap Creative. Challenge Conventional Thinking.

What AstraZeneca have said about our service
It is a pleasure to be able to provide you with a reference to be used with other potential customers. I am really glad you asked, as I have been meaning
to write through to thank you for all of your help in recent months on a number of different projects!
Having worked with any number of the ‘so called’ large agencies in London and the like, many of them could learn more than a thing or two from
TAP! The client focus, attention to detail, creativity, dedication to the objectives and overall professional approach is second to none. I would highly
recommend any company to work with TAP.
Your work in the design of our respiratory meetings some years ago was brilliant, but the development work and re-branding conducted more recently
has had an incredibly positive response from internal and external customers alike. Fresh, innovative, eye-catching, and thought provoking are just some
of the comments I have heard. A very challenging, but VERY HAPPY internal customer!
I think the fact that you spent much of your personal time creating branding for half of my team’s expedition to do the 3 Peaks Challenge exemplifies
the dedicated approach that you have - and the fact that the organising committee of such a prestigious event have asked to use this for all of their
branding speaks volumes.

Dylan Hartley was a
rambunctious teenager when he
burst on the Premiership scene
in 2005. In the three-and-a-half
years since he has matured into
a young man calmer in outlook
and thoughtful about his
rugby. He has also made the
transition from ‘promising
prospect’ to being a regular
in an England matchday 22.
This has largely been
done away from the glare
of the media. There has
been plenty of talk by the
commentators but aside from
a 2007 interview in Rugby
World and another earlier this
season in the Sunday Times,
and the odd post-match press
commitment while on England
duty, Dylan has been notable in
his absence from the press.
It has not been for the want of
asking on the part of the fourth
estate, but the Saints coaches
have always wanted Dylan’s –
indeed every member of the
squad – to let their rugby do the
talking. That’s not to say that he
is short of a word or two or that
his deadpan humour doesn’t
regularly come to the fore, but
rugby speaks loudest of all and
Dylan’s has certainly shouted
from the rooftops. ww
There was a rare shining light during the Saints’
forgettable 2007, a player who won rave reviews for
his eye-catching and uncompromising approach to the
game and was marked out as a future international.
This last year in the Premiership has been really
good. I’ve enjoyed it and I think I’ve been playing
good rugby, solid rugby, and consistent rugby.

The Northampton Saints Rugby Club commissionedTap to redesign their official matchday programme as their
existing one was only selling one third of the total amount printed. We decided to go for a radical change using a
landscape instead of portrait format. This, with the use of great action shots, and the club’s colours, resulted in the
new programme being a sell out every time.

Out and About
A holiday in North Devon is full of contrasts – from
miles of unspoilt coastline, including stunning
swathes of sandy beaches and secret coves, to the
lush rolling hills and sparkling river valleys of the
countryside. In fact, Areas of Outstanding Natural
Beauty make up 171 sq km of North Devon, which
has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
because of its world-class environments.
Nearby Beaches
Activities such as kayaking and fishing are permitted
at Hele Beach, while Tunnels Beach at Ilfracombe
is a glorious sandy Blue Flag beach and boasts a
large tidal pool accessed through four hand-carved
tunnels in the cliffs. Woolacombe and Saunton
Sands are impressive sandy beaches popular with
surfers, while Combe Martin is a dog-friendly sand
and shingle beach with rock pools.
Countryside
Very near to Beachside is Exmoor National Park, the
countryside of what has become known as Tarka
Country since Henry Williamson used it as the setting
for his famous novel, Tarka the Otter. It combines
rocky coastline, wild heather moorland, streams and
river valleys. Among the array of wildlife roaming the
park is the wild red deer and the rare Exmoor pony.
Towns and Villages
The special diversity of the area is reflected in its
many unique towns and villages. From sleepy
hamlets dotted across the countryside, to traditional
market towns and vibrant coastal resorts, North
Devon will not disappoint.
Hele Village itself is steeped in history and boasts the
Old Corn Mill and Pottery. Five minutes away by car
from Beachside Holiday Park is the Victorian town of
Ilfracombe, which surrounds a picturesque working
harbour. It has shops, a museum and a theatre, as
well as a range of boat excursions on offer, including
trips to Lundy Island.
Days Out and Activities
Aside from the spectacular scenery to enjoy, there
are a number of other activities in the surrounding
area to keep the whole family entertained. Within
five minutes of the park, there is an 18-hole golf
course, an indoor swimming pool, a children’s
playground and the haunted Chambercombe Manor.
Other fantastic days out include Watermouth Castle
and Family Theme Park, Combe Martin Dinosaur and
Wildlife Park and Exmoor Zoo. BeachsideHolidayParkwww.beachsidepark.co.uk
Breathtaking sea views await you at Beachside,
a tranquil five-star holiday park nestled between the
cliffs of the beautiful Hele Bay in North Devon, an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Gaze out over the
stunning cove and the blue seas beyond from each of
our static caravans, which are set on a terraced slope
leading down to the lovely sand and shingle beach.
The emphasis is on relaxation at Beachside Holiday
Park – and with sublime views, stunning surroundings
and a peaceful atmosphere, it won’t take long for you
to unwind. But for those looking to do something a
little more active, there are a variety of attractions in
the surrounding area, such as the ancient harbour
town of Ilfracombe, which is just a mile away. Directly
behind the park is The South West Coastal Park,
which leads you to a number of beauty spots.
We have a range of well-appointed static caravans
available for hire, which sleep up to six people.
The facilities at Beachside Holiday Park are low-key
reflecting the serenity of the area, but there are a
variety of amenities within walking distance which
provide everything you need for a fantastic
self-catering break. Dogs are welcome at Hele
Beach, which is reached through a private access
from the park.

Babcock delivers outstanding
project management
While every project we undertake is unique, the focus of our management role remains consistent. Our task is
to find the most effective and cost-efficient way to deliver the project, so you get a superior end product for
less outlay. So whether it’s designing baggage handling systems for Heathrow or helping build 21st century
accommodation for our Forces personnel, you’ll find Babcock project managers get the work done - and done well.
Above: Computer-generated design of standardised modular solution for Forces single living accommodation.
Opposite: Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, a 2,400-acre site accommodating 7,500 regular soldiers, 1,900 recruits and 2,000 civilian personnel.
The main aim of the Single Living Accommodation Modernisation Project (Project SLAM)
is to raise the standard of living accommodation for Forces personnel to meet the
expectations of today’s young service men and women.
This huge programme requires the creation of 32,000 new bed spaces to tight
deadlines, often with the added constraints of working ‘within the wire’ at military
bases. To deliver the project on time and on budget, Babcock is working with Bovis
Lend Lease in a joint venture that combines our asset management skills with their
construction management expertise.
We have created an innovative ‘modular’ solution that delivers a modern and uniform
living space with standardised components. Not only does this reduce risk and
uncertainty, it means we can maximise supply chain sourcing, bringing quality and cost
improvements over time.
From the outset, our core project management team has co-located with the customer
forming an integrated project team. This has facilitated the coordination of the delivery
of the programme throughout the UK. We have exceeded our delivery targets each
year in the first phase of the project and have been appointed to deliver a second, even
larger phase.
case study: supporting service personnel
Creating superior living accommodation for the Forces
Babcock has been working with BAA for over 20 years, giving us an unparalleled
understanding of how airports work and how their owners require us to manage
projects within them.
Their key priority in baggage integration projects, of course, is that every bag connects
with every customer, every time. Baggage service targets at Heathrow are set to
minimise the connection time for passengers across the airport. To deliver this service,
Babcock is responsible for the transfer of baggage around all terminals at Heathrow;
this involves the movement of up to 30,000 bags per day. We must also be able to
meet this target without disturbing the operating environment or causing any delay or
shut-down. This demands an in-depth understanding of airport logistics as well as the
flexibility to respond to new challenges fast.
Babcock is BAA’s choice at Heathrow because we can offer over 900 skilled staff
specialising in baggage system design, control systems development and operations
and maintenance. Such depth of resource and cross-discipline expertise means we can
respond to a wide range of customer needs quickly and efficiently – and helps explain
why Babcock has grown to be the largest supplier of baggage services and systems in
the UK.

Babcock delivers engineering
excellence
While asset management and project management are the primary tasks we perform for our customers,
engineering excellence underpins everything we do. It is the skills of our engineers that help us create
innovative solutions for the challenges we face: solutions that enable us to cut costs for our customers
while improving operational efficiency. This is why Babcock engineers are helping to create the next
generation of aircraft carrier and to improve reactor core monitoring at UK nuclear power stations.
12
The NICIE (New In Core Instrumentation Equipment) project is a prime example
of how Babcock proactively uses its engineering expertise to benefit customers.
We help maintain British Energy’s fleet of Advanced Gas Reactor nuclear power
stations and one of our customer’s key priorities is ensuring the integrity of the
graphite moderator that lies at the heart of the reactor core.
Traditionally the reactor core, including the moderator, is examined during the
statutory outages of the stations, when the reactor has been depressurised and
cooled. The problem is that this screening extends the offline period with high
cost implications. For each day a plant is out of action, British Energy loses around
£650,000 of revenue and fails to generate around 30TWhrs of electricity, enough
to power 2% of the nation’s homes.
Babcock engineers realised that they could shorten the offline process and save
the customer money. So they created NICIE, a piece of equipment that integrates
several separate graphite inspection activities and can be used while the core is still
cooling down.
What started as a small engineering project to improve a key process is now saving
British Energy millions of pounds at power plants across the UK and maximising the
time these key assets are generating electricity for the nation.
case study: supporting british energy
Improving nuclear reactor core monitoring
Babcock is a proud member of the UK’s Aircraft Carrier Alliance,
responsible for assembling the Royal Navy’s two new aircraft
carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, the
largest vessels ever operated by the Royal Navy.
In addition to producing one of the four major sections that
will make up each vessel, we will be assembling the vessels and
fitting an array of equipment.
Babcock’s team for this project demonstrates the breadth of
our engineering skills. Over 1,000 Babcock employees will be
working on this project, applying their expertise in areas ranging
from ship design and modern modular construction to assembly,
commissioning and systems testing.
Babcock is trusted to undertake work of this scale because of
our unrivalled track record in supporting complex warships for
the Royal Navy including the three current aircraft carriers.

phase and continues to support JET to this day.

Large impactful images were used, together with clear headings and a confident use of white space.The end result was
a slick, clean, but interesting piece. This brochure led toTap designing many other pieces of marketing collateral for

broadcast installations across the world.
With many years broadcast installation experience
Gearhouse Broadcast Systems Integration division
offers solutions for both new installations and upgrades
on existing systems. In particular, but not exclusively,
our expertise lies in the provision of solutions for
Studios, Outside Broadcast Facilities, Transmission
and Automation, Master Control Rooms, Broadcast
Cabling. We have carried out numerous high definition
installations for studios, outside broadcast facilities and
venues across the globe. We offer the ability to provide
at short notice, temporary broadcast facilities whilst the
permanent solution is in progress.
The company’s other divisions of Equipment Sales,
Equipment Rental and Project Solutions – temporary
installations for major global sporting events – all
complement our ability to offer our clients incredibly
flexible options and an operational awareness, both
of which our competitors are hard pushed to match.
Our Sales and Rental divisions give us significant
buying power across the broadcast manufacturing
market. Unlike many other system integrators, whilst
we work closely with manufacturers, we are completely
independent with no restrictions or commitments to
a particular brand, so our advice on what equipment
will work best given your individual situation will be
impartial and based on our knowledge, product
capability, cost effectiveness and your work flow.
Our Rental division also gives us the ability to offer
cheaper equipment options using nearly-new, ex-
rental stock which is in excellent condition with a six
month warranty and at significant savings to that of
buying new.
As owners and operators of broadcast equipment
we understand the way television works and real
production requirements.
Once you have identified a need we will work with
you from consultancy, concept, planning and design,
through to installation, commissioning, training and
aftercare support. Whether you are looking for a new
installation, or to upgrade your existing system from
SD to HD or simply enhance what you have, we can
assist you.
Engineering Expertise
Gearhouse Broadcast has a first class reputation as
a broadcast system integrator, with a wealth of ‘on the
job’ experience. We employ some of the best system
engineers and technical support staff in the industry
as we recognize that engineers are the backbone
to our business. We only select highly skilled and
qualified personnel with solid experience in a system
engineering background who ensure they keep
informed of the latest technology and system design
developments and principals. We own and operate
our own broadcast equipment which gives us the rare
blend of installation experience and operational know-
how. We have a wealth of experience in operating
large, complex projects all around the globe in very
challenging conditions. The result is a technical
team with a wealth of integration, operational and

Consultancy
Our systems integration specialists provide
consultancy on your entire project, advising on the
best use of products and new technology to provide
the most appropriate and cost effective solutions
to meet your objectives. The team is experienced in
both large scale and complex projects. Our standards
are of the highest levels and projects are based on
the selection of skilled staff, meticulous project and
logistics planning and tight budgetary control.
Project Management
The key to a successful project is down to the
planning and management. Projects are run by
our seasoned Project Managers who select their
team from our pool of highly skilled engineers.
Our expertise and broadcast sensibilities allow us to
create realistic plans, timescales and work schedules
without unnecessarily impacting on existing broadcast
operations. Client involvement is encouraged at all
stages to ensure that we deliver what you want.
Systems Integration Services
Our logistics team plans large scale equipment and
personnel deployments all over the world, week in
week out, ensuring that the right kit and the right
people are in the right place at the right time.
Budgets are a key consideration and our experience
allows us to guide you in making the right purchasing
decisions to give you the results you need whilst giving
value for money without false economies. As a result
we design budgets to be realistic and cost effective
to the client, with no surprises.
Installation
The installation team required for each job is
dynamically tailored according to the particular
demands of the project. We have access to a pool
of personnel with a variety of skills such as engineers,
wiremen and riggers, all of whom have formidable and
truly global installation experience. This means that the
right skills are available to the team only for as long as
they are required whilst the project manager controls
the project and provides the continuity.
Commissioning
The final commissioning of any system requires
in-depth knowledge of all the various components
to ensure that the final product fulfils its expectations
on both an operational and technical level. The intimate
knowledge of broadcast equipment held by our
personnel coupled with the strength and depth
of the Gearhouse broadcast engineering team’s
operational know-how allows us to fully configure,
test, fault-find and generally de-snag the system
prior to the customer hand-over.
Training
Gearhouse Broadcast can also help you with all your
training requirements. We provide system training for the
systems installed as part of the handover process and can
also arrange for various manufacturers courses, available
either on-site or at the manufacturers premises, whichever
is preferred or most suitable.
Aftercare Support
We can offer a variety of flexible after-sales and support
options to ensure your installation stays operating smoothly
for years to come.

Herts Middlesex WildlifeTrust also neededTap to design some Christmas eCards for them. Being a wildlife based
organisation, different species were used to create charming images of Christmas scenes.The eCards were sent out
using an automated system which showed HMWT who had opened the emails and when. Their first eCard campaign
ran in 2008, and was so successful they ran another one in 2009. The positive feedback from their clients was
immense. Due to this, the cards helped them raise much needed funds for the charity.

Practice.The site also featured interactive games to explain to parents and younger patients how CF could be more
effectively managed with a better drug adherence programme.
