D.O.B: 04/02/1978
Nationality: British
I have been involved in the industry since I was 18. I started as a mac
operator, then artworker moving on to be a senior creative artworker, now
designer, whose exposure and involvement in many different projects
and environments has given me a varied and in-depth skill-set, especially
within Creative Suite.
My artworking and design experience covers both on and off-line, working
on a variety of print collateral and publications using various types of layout
and finish as well as website and email elements. I have great experience
in designing and building pitch documents and presentations using
Word, PowerPoint and Keynote. I am also a very competent retoucher,
comfortable with anything from subtle amends to product mock-ups and
complicated image comps.
I enjoy working as part of a team and helping others with ideas, or
solely taking and managing a project from concept stage to delivery. I
am experienced taking briefs from art directors, as well as dealing with
clients directly (including CEOs) and working to tight deadlines. I have had
experience trafficking workloads and managing an artworker as part of my
role at Michael Page.
On a personal note, my passions include playing football, running, DJing
and spending time with my family. References, professional and personal,
are available on request.

London Stock Exchange Group plc Annual Report December 2014
Defined benefit schemes
The UK defined benefit scheme was a non-contributory scheme and closed to new members in 1999. With effect from 31 March 2012, the scheme also closed
to accrual of future benefits for active members and it has been agreed that the benefits for affected members will remain linked to their salary with the Group.
Pension scheme obligations and costs are determined by an independent qualified actuary on a regular basis using the projected unit credit method. The
obligations are measured by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows to be paid out by the scheme and are reflected in the Group balance sheet.
The TFR operated by the Italian group is classified as an unfunded defined benefit scheme for funds accumulated prior to 1 July 2007. The service cost,
representing deferred salaries accruing to employees, was included as an operating expense and was determined by law at 6.91 per cent of salary payments
subject to certain adjustments. The scheme obligation comprises accumulated service costs and is revalued by law at a rate equal to 75 per cent of ‘national
life price index +1.5 per cent’ by an independent qualified actuary. Since 1 July 2007, the Group retains no obligation, as contributions are made directly into
Italian state funds in the manner of a defined contribution scheme.
The employee benefit and retirement plan operated by MillenniumIT is classified as a defined benefit plan. The net obligation in respect of this plan is
the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Once an employee is continuously
employed for more than five years, he or she is entitled to a payment equivalent to half a month’s gross salary multiplied by the number of years in service
at MillenniumIT.
The defined benefit scheme operated by LCH.Clearnet was closed to new members from 30 September 2009. The scheme was closed to further employee
contributions from 31 March 2013.
Defined contribution schemes
The Group’s defined contribution schemes are now the only schemes open to new employees in the UK, Italy and LCH entities. For the UK pension plan,
a core contribution of four to eight per cent of pensionable pay is provided and the Group will match employee contributions up to a maximum of six to
ten per cent of pensionable pay. LCH pays fixed contributions to the defined contribution scheme and there is no legal or constructive obligation to pay
further contributions.

Sensitivities
The sensitivities regarding the principal assumptions used to measure the LSEG UK scheme obligations are:
Assumption Change in assumption Impact on scheme obligations
Inflation rate (CPI) Increase by 0.5% Increase by £5.4m
Rate of increase in pensions payment Increase by 0.5% Increase by £23.6m
Discount rate Increase by 0.5% Reduce by £25.6m
Mortality rate Increase by 1 year Increase by £10.9m
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable
changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.

NEW BRAND... SAME STRATEGY
WHAT THE PAGEGROUP REBRAND
MEANS FOR OUR INVESTORS
Our strategy and approach remain unchanged: organic
growth by region and discipline, a focus on growth
markets, development of internal management expertise
and a structure that champions our own talent.
it reflects that we are specialists – by job function, sector,
geography and process. In an increasingly fragmented
recruitment landscape, this specialist approach combined
with our established global network gives us a better ability
to reach more candidates and clients. Our aim is higher
professional partnerships for the long-term and to move
away from transaction-led relationships. The rebrand
also addresses the need to demonstrate a clear brand
proposition in a marketplace that is growing in complexity.
People want the reassurance of a business with a strong
way that is recognisable and consistent across sectors,
markets, audiences and media channels.

RETAINING THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE
Lombard Odier Group 2015 Annual Highlights
Draft 3
07
2015 proved yet another peculiar vintage in this atypical, post-crisis era.
For the sixth year central banks played a leading role, kicking off when
the Swiss National Bank abandoned its floor on the euro/Swiss franc, in
anticipation of the European Central Bank’s unprecedented sovereign bond
purchases. The Federal Reserve also kept markets on alert as it considered
whether to raise its main interest rate for the first time in nine years. In the
end, the suspense lasted until December 16.
Crises fed investor anxiety through an eleventh-hour deal with Greece,
emerging economies reeling from a strengthening US dollar and the drop
in commodity prices. This last crisis triggered global growth fears that only
receded once China’s authorities showed they could stabilise their economy
with currency innovations plus fiscal and monetary support. Meanwhile, in
western economies, improved consumer purchasing power partially offset
the industrial declines from falling energy prices and weaker trade with
emerging economies.

Notes to the financial statements conttinuuedd
London Stock Exchange Group plc Annnual Report December 2014
Defined benefit schemes
The UK defined benefit scheme was a non-contributory scheme and closed to new members in 1999. With effect from 31 March 20012, the scheme also closed
to accrual of future benefits for active members and it has been agreed that the benefits for affected members will remain linked too their salary with the Group.
Pension scheme obligations and costs are determined by an independent qualified actuary on a regular basis using the projected uunit credit method. The
obligations are measured by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows to be paid out by the scheme and are reflected in thhe Group balance sheet.
The TFR operated by the Italian group is classified as an unfunded defined benefit scheme for funds accumulated prior to 1 July 20007. The service cost,
representing deferred salaries accruing to employees, was included as an operating expense and was determined by law at 6.91 peer cent of salary payments
subject to certain adjustments. The scheme obligation comprises accumulated service costs and is revalued by law at a rate equal tto 75 per cent of ‘national
life price index +1.5 per cent’ by an independent qualified actuary. Since 1 July 2007, the Group retains no obligation, as contributionns are made directly into
Italian state funds in the manner of a defined contribution scheme.
The employee benefit and retirement plan operated by MillenniumIT is classified as a defined benefit plan. The net obligation in resspect of this plan is
the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Once an emplooyee is continuously
employed for more than five years, he or she is entitled to a payment equivalent to half a month’s gross salary multiplied by the nuumber of years in service
at MillenniumIT.
The defined benefit scheme operated by LCH.Clearnet was closed to new members from 30 September 2009. The scheme was closed to further employee
contributions from 31 March 2013.
Defined contribution schemes
The Group’s defined contribution schemes are now the only schemes open to new employees in the UK, Italy and LCH entities. For tthe UK pension plan,
a core contribution of four to eight per cent of pensionable pay is provided and the Group will match employee contributions up to aa maximum of six to
ten per cent of pensionable pay. LCH pays fixed contributions to the defined contribution scheme and there is no legal or constructitive obligation to pay
further contributions.

I was heavily involved in the brand refresh at Michael Page, after various
new logo designs were short listed, mine was chosen as the new identity
for Michael Page/PageGroup. The brief was to modernise the old logo,
without veering too far from the original, corporate look and feel.
I also created the new look for the company’s templated advertising,
as well as implementing the new logo element into other advertising
and on/off-line collateral.

Charles Stanley Brand Guidelines
Focusing on brand elements
Logotype
2.02
The Charles Stanley logotype is made
up of the wordmark and the Jewel.
The wordmark is a specially drawn
piece of type that is unique to
Charles Stanley. It cannot be
recreated or tampered with. Its
angular serifs reflect the design of the
kaleidoscopes (see page 2.12).
The Jewel combines the colours from
our primary colour palette which
represents our three key audiences,
Private Clients, Intermediaries and
Institutions.
Colourways
Use the colour logotype on a white
background. On a CS Heritage Navy
background or photos where there is
insufficient contrast with the logotype
use the reversed colour logotype.
Colour specifications
See page 2.08 for Pantone®
, CMYK,
RGB and Hex colour specifications.
Artwork
To get master artwork contact the
Marketing Department. See the
‘Contacts’ section for details.
Social media avatar
The avatar should be used for all
social media applications.

The kaleidoscopes
2.12
There are several different
kaleidoscope designs within the
Charles Stanley brand.
Audience level
At audience level there are different
kaleidoscopes representing Private
Clients, Intermediaries and
Institutions. Each kaleidoscope can
only be used for communications to
their specific audience.
Corporate and internal level
At corporate level there are four
versions of the kaleidoscope, the
full version, two versions that focus
on the central design with the outer
shapes either coloured CS Pale Grey
or removed altogether and a special
artwork with a darker pale grey
which can only be used for in-house
printing.
The Pale Grey corporate kaleidoscope
should be used for most corporate
applications. The ‘full corporate’ and
‘centre of corporate’ kaleidoscopes
should only be used as part of a
‘reveal’ where the central design is
laser cut (for example the corporate
Annual Report design on page 4.03).
Only use approved artwork of
the kaleidoscopes. They cannot
be redrawn or used in different

Don’t miss out on Rio!
There’s still time to earn your way
onto the High Flyers trip to Rio.
How could you miss this once in a
lifetime opportunity? Imagine partying
carnival style, exploring the Amazon
and experiencing the buzz of
Copacabana beach with the sun
on your back.
Reach your targets,
achieve your goal.
What do Sky, EY, Total, SAP, Bayer, Kingfisher
and Walmart all have in common?
They all promise better; whether it’s believing in better, saving you
money so you can live better; being committed to better energy or
helping the world run better. And they are not alone.
Either explicit in a strap line or contained within a brand narrative,
there’s a definite trend towards ‘better’, from FMCG to pharma,
construction to management consultancy.
Does better
guarantee better?
In today’s competitive world, organisations are constantly
seeking new and better ways to connect message to
audience, and get the desired result. And in today’s
technological age, there has to be a social or digital magic
bullet that can do the job: better, cheaper, faster. On its
own and in one simple hit. Right? Well, not quite.
Creative consultancies are constantly challenged by
their clients to find that social or digital magic
bullet because finding it would be terrific.
Without print, production costs would go
down. Inherent trackability means the ability
to measure would go up. Complex channel
and media strategies would become simpler.
And communications would become as
effective as a heat-seeking missile.
Your best form
of communication.
It’s magic.
Time to be Frank,
Merry & Bright
We know that summer feels like it’s only just ended, but it really is time
to look forward to Christmas.
In the time honoured tradition, we’d like to invite you to share a drink
or two and tuck into some early Christmas fare. So if you’d like to mull
over a mug of gluhwein, hatch some festive plans over a glass of eggnog
or enjoy sparkling conversation over a flute of champagne, you know where
to come. There’ll be plenty of ho ho ho and not a Brussels sprout in sight.
When, where and how
Thursday, 3 December, from 6pm to late.
Frank, Bright & Abel, 326 City Road,
London EC1V 2PT
Nearest Tube is Angel and you’ll find us
about 0.2 miles down City Road (towards

Your conference, training
and meeting facility needs
are as individual as your
handwriting and not
easily served by neatly
packaged solutions. You
need the physical space
and the headspace to
achieve your objectives,
and a menu that fuels the
same results. At Warwick
Conferences, with our food
service, as with everything
else: anything is possible.
Our new venue is unique and our menu is just
as individual. Naturally, breakfast is provided for
early arrivers. And from banquets to something
more low-key, evening meals are shaped to meet
your needs and no one else’s. However it’s at
lunch that our approach comes into its own.
With an array of choices across three eclectic
food stations, you can choose one of our
recommendations or mix and match. It’s up to you.
Just grab a plate and put together what’s right for
you. Light and healthy, or wholesome with a twist
of indulgence, your meal will be whatever you
want it to be. Whatever it is, it is designed to both
satisfy and keep you alert. But that’s not all.
In the heart of the UK, we’ve got some of the
nation’s best produce on our doorstep. We make
the most of it. We use locally sourced ingredients
with a clear provenance, supporting the best local
producers and we’re even working towards Soil
Association accreditation. And because we only
use the very best seasonal ingredients, our menu
and vegetables from Cotswold farmers or soft
fruits from nearby Worcestershire.
At Warwick Conferences, fresh food,
locally sourced, cooked well and to your
what could be better?

Carol-Ann Freeman,

more creative

I have created various interesting and innovative pitch docs, either for
in-house or agency pitches.
Skills involved:
– Build of pitch template in either PowerPoint, Keynote or Indesign
– Creation of layered /masked PSD files
– Headline/copy creation
Two examples of this are shown left, Danone and Nando’s.
Danone
The pitch presentation was laid out as a fridge with magnets spelling
the headlines and post-it notes used for highlighted copy, the aim was
to create a more fun/friendly approach. The client loved the idea and
it won the pitch.
Nando’s
This was slightly different, the consultants had to give a 20 minute pitch
without using a boring presentation, the most innovative pitch would win
the business. I designed and created mock business cards, loyalty cards,
small Nando’s boxes, menus and 6ft stands in the style of the Nando’s
brand that delivered the messages needed to be put across. The business
was won based on this pitch.

Rebrand
I rebranded the business of a friend of mine. He runs a mobile DJ agency
and wished to update his current brand, but not change it too much.
I re-designed his logo, created stationery and gave him a new website
design, keeping the basic elements he liked from his old design.
I also recently rebranded the website and created new stationery for a band
I know and work with as a mobile DJ. They didn’t really have a brand, but
loved the one I gave them.
Logo creation
I have created many logos for in-house and private clients, as well as
creating the PageGroup logo designs, I created several in-house campaign
logos for Michael Page and AmaZing Venues. I have also created many
logos for private clients.
