ROGER ALLURED FORMED THE BUSINESS IN 1985

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Roger Allured formed the business in 1985, hence the (RA) within the logo. Initially, the company was branded RA Photography Ltd. The company specialised in industrial and commercial photography throughout the East Midlands.

RA PHOTOGRAPHY WAS LOCATED IN THE BASEMENT OF FORMER “ALL SAINTS BREWERY” IN LEICESTER.

Gaining Excellent Reputation

RA Photography soon gained an excellent reputation for quality, cost, and speed of delivery, and this is still one of the top business values we trade on. Our first photography studio was in a basement on High Cross street in Leicester, a former brewery and next to a church (which was according to Roger pretty spooky!). The Highcross shopping centre was built where the building previously stood after it was demolished in 2016.

EXPANSION TO A LARGER STUDIO

High Quality Creative Photography, Competitively Priced

A move was made to a bigger studio based in Syston in the early 2000s; this enabled RA Photography to get creative with their photographic work, securing numerous clients such as Black & Decker, Boots, Walkers Crisps and Hugo Boss to name a few. The creativity continued, and RA Photography changed its name to RA Creative and branched out into innovative design and brand identities. From there, the Studio Packshots business was created which focuses on professional product photography.

DEVELOPING BESPOKE SOLUTIONS FOR SOME LARGE BRANDS

The First Step Into Online Website Design

Gaining a strong reputation for innovative and creative design, RA Photography was at the forefront with website development, managing domains, and developing content management solutions, providing many of our customers with their first online presence. This early adoption proved a fruitful move for RA Creative and we soon started developing bespoke solutions for some large brands, including delivery tracking, quizzes, animations, and surveys.

AT THE FOREFRONT OF ECOMMERCE UX, DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

The Move To Ecommerce Websites

Developing early versions of ecommerce websites (mostly bespoke solutions) has helped RA Creative gain an excellent reputation in the online sector. The client and customer knowledge gained during this early period means RA Creative is now very much at the forefront of ecommerce UX, design, and development on both pre-existing and bespoke platforms.

DELIVERING CREATIVE, HIGH-QUALITY GLOBAL ECOMMERCE WEBSITES AND DESIGN SERVICES

Client Relationships

RA Creative’s business has grown from strength to strength because we believe in creating a partnership understanding our clients’ needs, offering new technological solutions helping us both grow together.

In 2016 we moved to new offices in Nottingham (the tech capital of the East Midlands). We are now a twenty-strong team, all having fun delivering creative, high-quality global ecommerce websites and design services.
