Manchester-based design agency Creative Lynx was recently evaluated as suitable for inclusion on the Design & Related Services for Print Roster of the Central Office of Information (COI) following a nine month development process.

Creative Lynx was retained alongside more than forty consultancies introduced for the first time to the now 64-strong roster following an overhaul of the original design list which included over 100 agencies.

Designed to broaden out the range of consultancies involved, the new roster which now includes a total of eight categories, incorporates the newly distinct disciplines of brand guardianship/management, communications audits, contract publishing, image library creation, and forms & information design.

Creative Lynx has been evaluated as suitable for inclusion in the corporate identity/brand creation/implementation and corporate literature categories.

Inclusion on the leaner, more organised roster means that Creative Lynx will be in a position to provide public sector design services to the COI for the next 3-5 years, with less chance of the agency not receiving any work from the organisation.

Sue Crossley, Creative Lynx Director, comments: "It's great to be included on the amended COI roster now that it has been streamlined. Its something that has been in the pipeline for us for many months now, so we were delighted when we found out for sure last month."
