A message from our CEO & Founder Professor Graham Shapiro.

"Proud today to celebrate 30 years of my company Graham Shapiro Design (GSD®).
30 Years. Est. 11th November 1995.

Three decades ago, I had an idea and a lot of hope. What I didn't have was the team, the mentors, the clients and the believers who would turn Graham Shapiro Design (GSD®) into what it is today.
This milestone isn't mine—it belongs to every person who believed in my vision.
To John and Daphne Butler, who gave me my first office space for next to nothing when I needed it most. You believed, before there was much to believe in.

To Martin Nolan, previously at Action Coach and my Chairman John Mohin OBE, whose guidance helped me see what was possible when I couldn't see it myself.

To the 65 incredible people who have worked at GSD® over these years—and yes, I know people usually say "too many to mention," but I'm mentioning every single one of you: Adam Hollins, Adam Kilgallon, Alex Casey, Alison Forshaw, Allan Carruthers, Andrew Gittens, Antony Gaunt, Ben Colegate, Bilhal Khalid, Christian Dawes, Chris Moorst, Colin Davies, Colin John Davies, Craig Willets, Dan Havercroft, Darren Brookes, Darren Jennings, Dave Ward, David Goadby, Dean Blackborough, Elliot Farrar, Emma Jones, Gary Marshall, Gary Ratcliffe, Glen Cross, Ian Ebden, Ian Sidor, Ian Thraves, Ian Williams, Jade Shapiro, James Greenaway, James Timmons, James Wilson, Jenny Pinder, John McDonald, John Mohin OBE, John Randall, John Steele, Josha George, Karl Kellner, Kirsty Smith, Liz Bostock, Lyndsey Edwards, Lyndsay Green, Martin Nolan, Michael Arteev, Mike Crockford, Mike Lawson, Mike Smales, Nicola Hough, Nicola Roberts, Paul Gowland, Paul Hunt, Peter Ennis, Peter Wilson, Phil Bourne, Phil Turner, Rachel Kerskale, Sarah Munroe, Sean Barton, Shirley Beadle, Stephen Bishop, Stephen Clarke, Stephen Morris, Tony Williams, Tracey Jane Doyle and Will Killgallon.You brought, some still do currently, the talent, the late nights, the creativity and the heart.
