A bit of history. Willoughby Stewart was founded in 1978 by our esteemed and much loved Chairman, Trafford Corke, who was responsible for some original and innovative branding work for companies such as International Paint, Lewmar Marine, Henri-Lloyd and one of our most iconic brands, Spam.

Willoughby Stewart grew successfully as a full service agency during the 80's and 90's, specialising in the marine and leisure industries and building an enviable portfolio of international clients and brands. Peter Corke, son of the much loved Chairman, joined in 2000, expanding the agency's client service capabilities and bringing greater emphasis to the digital and new media fields. Peter became Managing Director in 2003.

In February 2008 we added a second office location with the acquisition of GKP - Graham Kerr Promotions - a specialist operator in the drinks industry, giving them the ability to expand the facilities and service available to their own client base.

In the summer of 2008, we joined forces with a trusted supplier to create Tiger Global, a business specialising in global sourcing and distribution. We are now part of a group of strategic partnership businesses with more than 35 employees across four offices, including one in Shanghai. The Willoughby Stewart family continues to blossom.
