New design consultancy

ONE of the north's best-known marketing and branding experts has launched a new design consultancy. Ian Bennington, who for 31 years was managing director of Belfast-based design firm Triplicate, has opened part Two design. The business, created following the demerger of Triplicate, is based in Meter House within the former Ormeau Gasworks site in Belfast. In a distinguished career spanning three decades, Bennington has lectured on branding, design and marketing for a host of organisations and he acts as a mentor to start-ups and fledgling businesses. He sees part Two as an opportunity to embrace change, adding: "The new company represents a fresh start for my team."
