For over 30 years Adrian has been working with clients in engineering, manufacturing and construction. Writing feature articles, news releases, brochures, technical data sheets, web pages, social media posts and more.
These are turned into digital marketing assets and sometimes traditional print. Design services include co-ordinating the production of exhibition stand graphics, logos, branding, transport liveries, and video. Arranging professional photography and video shoots on site is often necessary to make clients stand out above the ‘phone crowd’.
This all began in 1985 when he co-founded a computer consultancy specialising in the customisation of marketing and financial packages. Projects for league football clubs, petrol retailers and the Manchester Business School, provided a wealth of hands-on business experience that was developed into a public relations business with Kevin Ainsworth.
Adrian is a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.

Kevin recently retired, but still lends a hand when needed and still provides an experienced ear when creating ideas.
After an early technical sales career in HVAC, industrial coatings and aerospace Kevin started Marketing Workshop in 1985.
Completion of the CIM diploma and an Open University degree in technology and management followed soon after. Collaboration with Adrian Maguire and the formation of Ainsworth Maguire followed in 1987.
Communication is a core skill. Kevin uses this to give a business a voice to promote ideas, demonstrate capability, best practice and innovation.
This involves written and visual content creation, from substantial web sites and video scripts to feature articles, media briefing packs and support for events.
When not writing - mountains, moors and coastlines are a source for inspiration and relaxation. Travel, with friends and family, in the UK and overseas, perhaps taking in a roadside inn for good food and refreshment are the perfect accompaniment.

Very soon he became accustomed to working in very hot and very hostile environmental conditions, including some of the biggest oil processing facilities in the world. Travelling the Kingdom on assignments ranging from refineries to shipping, major construction, power lines and pipelines.
In 1995 he returned to the UK. His area of speciality is industry which includes manufacturing, process plants, fabrication, machinery and automation. The aim is to create striking images from everyday working situations, many of which feature people at work.
