Boilerhouse is also currently developing the second phase of the website which will allow the organisation's website administrators to handle all membership administration and communications online through the site's content management system.

The Flag, a magazine designed and produced by Boilerhouse 10 times a year for BP Shipping, has recently celebrated its third birthday.

Originally developed from a monthly newsletter in mid 2005 by Boilerhouse and BP Shipping, The Flag serves as an invaluable internal communications channel.

The Flag was a wonderful idea. It has made a real difference in uniting the organisation. I can’t say enough in its praise - Bob Malone, Chairman & President, BP America.

This is one of many beers that Boilerhouse has designed over the last few years - see our portfolio page for the Hook Norton Brewery project gallery.

Boilerhouse has recently completed the design of the first ever review brochure for BP Shipping.

The glossy brochure is a useful mechanism to communicate the work undertaken by BP Shipping in 2006 to potential clients and other organisations within the BP Group.  Working with a BP accredited photographer and writer, Boilerhouse designed the brochure in line with BP branding requirements to create a factual product depicting organisational activities through the use of BP Shipping work and life images.

‘Including New Fathers: A Guide for Maternity Professionals’ is a new brochure designed by Boilerhouse for Fathers Direct.

In society today, fathers play an increasing role in caring for babies and are far more likely to be present at the birth than ever before - providing the perfect opportunity for professionals to offer their support. This brochure has been designed for maternity professionals to develop a more responsive approach to fathers to help them and their families make the transition into parenthood. With the clever use of images and space, the brochure creates an informal yet thought provoking guide to a complex and highly personal subject.

The calendar uses four prize winning and eight highly commended photographs selected from entries to a photography competition organised through The Flag magazine, the BP Shipping global staff magazine developed and designed by Boilerhouse.

The winning photographs, chosen by an independent panel of judges including Boilerhouse Design Director Jonathan Sivyer, reflect the life and work experiences of BP Shipping staff.
