Japan Week
It’s not often that your kids’ school makes a request for someone who has lived in Japan to step forward and explain what it’s like. I quickly realised that I could ask one of RED’s clients if they would be willing to participate in an online event with Hymers Junior School, and the rest as they say is history.
We’re in control – creating our vision!
Working with Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) (HCME) on the introduction of a new series of excavators starts more than a year in advance of the launch date. We are fortunate to share confidential information on the products to establish the key differences between the current range of models and the new generation. During the creative process with our client, we
New generation spotted in the Lake District
One of the highlights of the year (post-lockdown) was a trip to Cumbria to see the first machines from the new generation of Hitachi Zaxis-7 excavators in the UK.

Danish anyone?

Special RED
Basecamp Starbucks
While Oslo in January is not the warmest destination to visit in Europe, it didn’t matter to the RED team who never left the vicinity of the city’s international airport during their brief stay. Paul and Glenn joined client Ariane in visiting one of Vanderlande’s showcase baggage handling systems at Oslo Airport with the overall aim of creating new case
“The flying rabbit”
When we travelled to Lyon earlier this year, we were indebted to the quick thinking and organisational skills of Charlotte, the local Hitachi dealer Teramat’s Marketing Coordinator. In addition, she also took us for an overnight stay in a ski resort, introduced us to “the flying rabbit” (watch this short clip to see the what Charlotte associates with the word
