Our Story

Purplex launches a UK wide series of marketing and business growth seminars for the glazing and building products industry, with sell-out audiences.

We add creative design and direct marketing into the mix, investing in our first graphic designer and direct mail equipment to print, fold, insert and frank large volumes of letters and mailers. Additional office space is acquired.

2010 is a pivotal year. Purplex reaches 10 staff and appoints Adam Whitaker as head of design. A new 2,500 ft2 office block is acquired in a shared building, and we introduce email marketing and web design as additional services.

Another pivotal year. The business reaches £1million turnover and now employs 20 staff, including a growing team of digital marketing specialists. We land our first international clients and acquire the rest of our shared office building, giving us 4,500 ft2.

Digital marketing is growing fast and we appoint Adi Day as head of digital. We move to responsive design for website build, and expand our SEO and PPC team and launch a full social media service. Meanwhile, our PR division continues to win more major clients across the UK and Europe.

A new 5,000 ft2 HQ is purchased following a £1m investment as we pass over 80 staff. Purplex announced as ‘Marketing agency of the year’ finalist at the CMA Awards.

COVID strikes and focus switches to supporting clients with customer and internal comms and rapid development of digital and online products and solutions. Despite the pandemic, Purplex acquires a further 2,500 ft2 of office space with dedicated training and conference facilities.
