ChARiTy

At WPA Pinfold we have a charitable mindset, donating a percentage of profits to worthy causes, ‘Art is rubbish too’ was born out of this commitment.

To generate funds for a small, under-resourced charity. We had the idea to use our creative skills to create works of art from discarded or unwanted items, display these in a pop up gallery and invited clients & friends to bid for them at auction.

In the spirit of upcycling we modified the keep Britain tidy logo and repurposed it for our event branding and communications.

WorkOut

We believe that life is about more than just work—it’s about balancing work, learning and play. Our understanding of the world around us makes us who we are. Travel broadens the mind and we feel it is critically important that we are all exposed to different cultures to help us better serve our global clients.
