Our values

They show in everything we do. Because each member of our team has a real passion for their profession.

Quality, creativity, planning, motivation, control and meticulous attention to detail.

So our websites are more engaging. Our design work more fulfilling. Our marketing more insightful. Our photography more compelling. Our copy more persuasive.

Specialists doing what they do best. Team workers putting it all together for the benefit of your brand.

We thrive on new challenges and knotty problems. The bigger the better.

What we do

Whatever we can do to promote your product and raise the profile of your brand, we will.

That could be advertising, graphic design, marketing, web development or photography. It could be a combination of them all or something entirely new.

Try us. We've never been known to turn down a brief, or let one beat us. No matter how tricky.

Andrew Squelch - Co Founder

Liverpool born Andy started young, working at the Northern Design Unit in his school holidays just as bromide cameras, typesetting machines and camera ready artwork were giving way to the Mac.

Following his A-Level in Art and Design he enrolled at Liverpool City College to study a two year Art Foundation course before starting a HND design course, during which he was offered a five year Design Consultancy at Liverpool Hope University leading to his first business as a freelance graphic designer.

In 2002 Andy joined an in-house design team, where he met and worked with studio manager Brian O'Connell. Brian and Andy left their full time posts to set up O'Connell & Squelch Ltd. in September 2009.

Brian O'Connell - Co Founder

Brian began his working life in 1977 at the National Giro Bank print department, where he developed his printing and finishing skills.

In 1991 he set up his own high street print company which he later sold to a Merseyside manufacturing company, retaining control of the print, design and marketing department as part of the deal.

Project managing large accounts like ASDA and Staples saw Brian gain vital experience with blue chip clients while embracing emerging technology in web-to-print and 'new media' marketing solutions.

Brian joined forces with Andy Squelch to form O'Connell & Squelch Ltd in September 2009.
