Protecting and maintaining the world we live in will leave a legacy for the future generations. Crucial to our approach, and indeed all our world, are our environmental policies.
At JPCreative we recognise that our actions have an impact on the environment and we're committed to understanding, managing and improving those actions in order to reduce our carbon footprint. We believe it's a team effort so we are constantly developing innovative and flexible solutions to ensure sustainable thinking as well as encouraging our clients to share in our goal.
We don't believe in big unachievable promises or jumping on the fast moving green bandwagon to make ourselves look better. We have always believed since our outset in a sense of environmental responsibility at both a corporate and individual level.
JPCreative understand that to be a green eco-company means doing more than just recycling paper and switching off our computers at night - our initiatives are applied at base level and continued all the way up to ensure we are carbon neutral through and through.
We have implemented a strong environmental policy that begins with how we travel to work and continually develops to include our environmentally resourced materials on our desks and in all aspects of our work and place of work.
JPCreative take environmental issues very seriously and have done so since the day we first opened our doors over 11 years ago. We have always taken that approach and have some great practices in place already, but we are constantly evolving and looking at more ways to becoming the greenest company we can be, because a greener way of life has become an important and inbuilt part of our daily routine. Our measures that are in place now are crucial in taking our company forward in the future without impacting on our high-end service and ensuring long-term sustainable benefits.
We're constantly on a mission to be lean, mean and green!
Brand Amplifier is an encouraging new initiative set up by Jeannette Pritchard, Founder and MD of JPCreative, aimed at assisting emerging female-run companies in Lambeth. The idea of Brand Amplifier is to allow young enterprising females to have access to successfully established businesswomen, enabling them to pick up tips on how to best visualise, promote and enhance their business.
Established as ‘Brand Piano’ in 2009, the initiative proved to be hugely successful in its flagship year. Renamed as ‘Brand Amplifier’ in 2010, the business competition hand picks 10 local applicants to attend a series of 4 workshops lead by successfully established businesswomen. These business mentors give the participants the inside story and the opportunity to learn from their experiences, successes and mistakes.
These innovative and relaxed workshops conclude with an awards night in November where the 10 finalists present their business cases to a panel of judges. The 3 best business visions are awarded with prizes and follow up mentoring sessions to assist their business growth.
Jeannette firmly believes that “Start-ups do change the world we live in. In the process they fuel creativity, open up jobs and opportunities and generate a pride in ourselves”. Brand Amplifier was established to support, embrace and encourage those start-ups.
Applications are closed for the 2012 Workshop Sessions, however if you are an emerging young business women from Lambeth, or interested in becoming involved, find out more by connecting with us on Facebook and Twitter, where you can follow this years successful applicants in action.
Brand Amplifier has attracted keen interest and was proudly supported in 2009 by: Lambeth council, Make Your Mark, Roehampton University, Red Ochre, Shell Livewire, Prince’s Trust, Global Entrepreneurship Week, GLE One London, PeopleNB and The London Chamber of Commerce.

The Conway Wickliffe Trust (CWT) has been established to raise funds for children lacking the opportunity to broaden their artistic horizons and assist them by buying their first musical instrument or other creative materials.
The trust was formed in memory of the late Conway Wickliffe, a special effects technician who died tragically on September 24th 2007 in an incident while working on the Batman movie The Dark Knight. Conway was an enthusiastic musician and artist that believed music brought people together and broke down boundaries. Conway strongly felt that even in the most difficult times, music and the arts should be central to the lives of children.
The CWT aims to raise funds through musical, arts and sporting events and sponsorship. Rather than cash, grants will be used to fund the purchase of the applicant's artistic object of desire - be that a musical instrument or another creative tool. The Trust gives children from all backgrounds the opportunity and skills to take part in music and the arts.
Already, the CWT has attracted some significant endorsements. Sponsors include the Brits School in Kensington, the Registry of Guitar Tutors, eight leading musical instrument dealers in the UK and well-known graphic design and special effects companies.
JPCreative shares in Conway's passion and belief in the importance of creative arts and Director Jeannette Pritchard strives as patron of the CWT to promote the vision and reach of the trust in encouraging and assisting children to pursue music and the arts worldwide.
