A project for industry, designed by industry.
Driving the Electric Revolution (DER) has been shaped by business. With 4 Industrialisation Centres across the UK spanning Scotland to the South West of England & Wales, DER’s network of engagement is extensive. So to its ambition to position the UK as the globally recognised centre of excellence in power electronics, machines and drives (PEMD), essential for sustainable manufacturing.
With a drive on innovation and research, we worked with lead partner Newcastle University to develop a bold website setting out the ambition and reach of DER.
Building on their existing visual identity, the site was designed to allow for growth with the ability to adapt to the rapid changes in the renewables sector.
