New hire at Two Stories following raft of digital wins

Lancaster brand consultancy and design studio Two Stories has announced a new digital developer appointment, following a host of client and project wins. 

With extensive experience in e-commerce and a background of software engineering in US tech companies, Anthony Rigby joins the studio to strengthen its digital offering as the business enters a period of significant growth. 

Following the expansion of its digital capabilities into more complex e-commerce, API integrations, and UI/UX design, the studio has secured 11 new clients this year across a range of sectors, including technology, skincare, food and drink, and tourism.  

Rigby’s appointment also comes as Two Stories was awarded Shopify Partner status, following the launch of its website for Jane Scrivner Skincare this spring, and as a new fermented food retail site is set to launch in early Autumn. 

New clients for the studio include Training 2000, part of the University of Central Lancashire, which has briefed Two Stories to replatform its site.

The project involves the full integration of two course and apprentice APIs, Arlo and Maytas, as well as visual enhancements to improve the front-end user experience.

Other notable wins include two London-based companies, with a new website project for private equity investor Horizon Capital and a full rebrand and website project for end user computing (EUC) solutions provider, Zero Plus. 

Two Stories has also recently been appointed to the creative services framework for University of Central Lancashire. 

Rob Ellis, managing director and co-founder of Two Stories, said: “It’s an exciting time for Two Stories, as we continue to grow across our brand, design, and digital offering and look set to increase our turnover yet again as we enter our seventh year in business.

"We’ve seen a new raft of national and regional client wins this year and its credit to the quality and effectiveness of the work we’re delivering as a studio.”

“We welcome Anthony to the team and can’t wait to see how his experience and talent ensure we provide increasingly elegant solutions for our clients.”

The studio, which was launched in September 2019 by co-founders Bekkie Warburton and Rob Ellis, already works for a host of national clients including Channel 4 Sales, The Advertising Association, the London Symphony Chorus, GoShorty, and KSS Audio, as well as well-known regional businesses, OneTwo, Butler Interiors and Lancaster Business Improvement District.
