Derby business focus: the benefits of shopping local

Posted 14.02.2020

Nowadays we’re constantly encouraged to shop local; boost the area’s economy and reduce our environmental impact, but what about professional services?

With more work being carried out online, there’s no need to feel restricted to one area.

At Rhodes Wealth Management, our team of financial advisers in Derby love to work with several Derby local businesses. Not simply because it’s convenient to work in the surrounding area of Derby, but because we’ve found fantastic talent amongst smaller companies in Derbyshire. Collaborating with local businesses over the last year has really helped deliver our marketing strategy, communicating to clients what our ethos is about and what we’re trying to achieve for the future.

Working with Derby-based businesses

We’ve been collaborating with Darley-Abbey based website development agency, Frogspark, which has allowed us to generate a modern website that enhances our brand and communicates our vision. It’s crucial to work with businesses that recognise what it is you’re trying to achieve and allow them to make it happen.

The Frogspark Derby team have shared their thoughts on working with Rhodes Wealth Management to develop their website:

‘Rosie at Rhodes Wealth Management approached us in 2019 to design and build a new website for them, as part of their continued brand refresh. They are very passionate about what they do, and we look forward to working with them again in the near future.’ Scott Clarke, Frogspark

Not only are we proud of our re-branding, but we’re proud of our efforts to communicate the Rhodes Wealth Management brand message across multiple mediums: we’ve also been working with Future Proof Films, who allowed us to visually express the culture and opportunities we have here in our Derby office. We’ve really enjoyed working with such an easygoing team who can display our culture in a slick, 2-minute video. It really was that easy!

Rob Dawes of Future Proof Films talks about the collaborative experience:

‘Being local meant we were able to have face-to-face meetings and bounce ideas back and forth before any pre-production took place. The result was a perfect blend of understanding the brand and marketing aims for the video content, and trust given to ourselves to execute what the best version of that idea would look like. We’re extremely proud of our work together.’ Rob Dawes, Future Proof Films

Sometimes, national companies are the right way forward in helping to express your brand values. It depends on what you’re looking for. However, don’t overlook the talent and great opportunities right on your doorstep.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for 2020!
