Led by Russell Goffe-Wood, Horbury & Goffe is a creative company with almost two decades of experience working with universities, research centres, international development organisations, and professional associations. This isn’t a large agency, it’s a focused practice built on understanding the landscape, creative intuition, and a partnership approach.
We love to help knowledge and impact-focused organisations capture and present what’s important – their knowledge and activities – making their work well designed, visible and impactful.
Through our varied and creative services we work as an extension of your team, support your events, build your brand and present your expertise.
Universities and research centres. Research centres, academic departments, specialised institutes.
International development organisations. NGOs, development consultancies. Organisations working globally on complex challenges.
Professional associations. We have supported conferences, journals and professional bodies to enhance their communities.
Knowledge-driven institutions. Think tanks, policy institutes, research collaborations. Anywhere expertise and evidence matter.
If your organisation is about knowledge, research, learning, or impact – and you need creative support that actually understands your world – we should talk.
We understand your world. Over a decade working with universities, research organisations, and knowledge-driven institutions means we speak your language, understand your constraints, and know what matters in your context.
We’re genuinely responsive. When you need a quick turnaround before a deadline, we make it happen.
We have the creative eye. There’s a difference between technically competent work and work that actually looks good and communicates effectively. Knowing what works visually, what engages audiences, what makes content shine.
We’re multi-disciplinary. Photography, video, web, design, eLearning – handling multiple creative needs under one roof rather than coordinating separate suppliers. Simpler for you, more integrated in delivery.
We care about your success. We’re invested in your projects succeeding, your bids being accepted, your events thriving. That’s what makes long-term partnerships satisfying for both of us.
Horbury & Goffe honours a friendship and a shared passion for creative thinking. Gareth Horbury was a close friend – brilliant, curious and creative. We spent countless hours discussing our ideas, projects, possibilities. He died far too young.
Goffe is my family name. The ampersand connects us – two people who loved ideas, creative thinking and potential.
The name serves to remind us to keep a creative approach and a friendly nature at our core. Looking for that unique angle to solve a problem. Going the extra mile for our clients like a friend would.
Whether you need a creative colleague embedded in your team, media capture at you events, or specific project support, get in touch for a conversation.
No pressure, no sales pitch – just honest discussion about whether we’re a good fit for what you need.
