TURNING IMAGINATION INTO REALITY, ONE PRINT AT A TIME
At Oriel Studios, we’re always looking for ways to improve the customer journey — and we’re proud to introduce our new online artwork approval system. This platform gives customers full visibility of their project timelines, making the process from submitting artwork to final delivery faster, clearer, and more efficient. With real-time updates and easier approvals, it’s all about keeping projects moving smoothly.
construction and supported the School in discussions with MP Kim Johnson about HTGM’s impact.
The clearest outcome of working with ULMS? Damian says the programme gave him and Clan a broader perspective. Rather than focusing solely on growing Clan, they’ve since launched a second business, which is now scaling.
Student collaboration has also made a lasting impact. Rocio joined Clan through the Liverpool Interns scheme and is now a full-time team member.
She leads their social media and has transformed their online presence. “It’s massively different from what we were doing two years ago,” says Damian. “Rocio has changed everything. It’s one of those qualitative improvements that you can’t easily measure—except by the positive feedback we get. There was no thread before, and now there is.”

Clan encourages other businesses to tap into the wealth of student knowledge at ULMS.
This collaboration has grown into a mutually supportive partnership that reflects a regional success story. Supporting local businesses is a core goal of ULMS and a key pillar of the School’s 2031 Place & Innovation Strategy.

As we move into summer, we’re preparing for one of our busiest seasons yet, with a packed schedule of installations across both sport and education sectors.
In football, we’re thrilled to be working closely with Everton Football Club at three key locations: the new Hill-Dickinson Stadium, Goodison Park, and Finch Farm. We’re also continuing our partnerships with Tranmere Rovers and Marine AFC, delivering a wide range of signage, branding, and display solutions ahead of the new season. Meanwhile, in the education sector, we’re supporting schools and academies as they use the summer break to refresh and upgrade their signage and internal branding. From external wayfinding, to wall graphics and motivational displays, our work helps create welcoming and inspiring environments ready for the new academic year.
A recent highlight is our project at Merchant Taylors’ School, where we designed, printed, and installed a striking 4m x 18m history timeline. This bold, large-format graphic transforms a corridor into a powerful visual story of the school’s rich heritage. With our full-service approach — from concept and design to print, production, and installation — Oriel Studios continues to deliver creative, impactful solutions that make a difference.
