PRE is a collaborative design agency in Surrey, partnering with brands and businesses for long-term success. We become an extension of your team to deliver strategic brand and website design that’s built on trust, creativity and results.

If you’re looking for an exhibition design agency in Surrey that blends creativity with commercial understanding, PRE brings ideas to life — beautifully, effectively, and always with purpose.

We’ve designed packaging for everything from consumer goods to premium gifting. What we’ve learned is simple: great packaging design does more than catch the eye — it connects.

We design marketing materials for businesses in Surrey and across the UK that work hard: not just to look good, but to deliver results.

Here’s how we approach brochure design that people actually want to pick up — and more importantly, keep reading.

At Pre, we know that every client is different — and so is every project. Some need us to deliver a full brand and digital package, while others want support in specific areas where we can add the most value.

Your website should be more than just a shop window. It should be a powerful tool that helps your business connect with customers, showcase your brand, and deliver results.

For over a year now, we’ve had the pleasure of calling Battersea Power Station one of our home bases — and it still inspires us every time we walk through the doors.

This iconic building has become a creative hub for businesses across London, and we’re proud to be part of it.

At Design by Pre, we work with business owners and marketing managers across Surrey and the UK, and one thing we’ve learned is this:
The decision to contact a creative studio is rarely just about design. It’s about timing, trust, and the need for clarity.

When Canon asked us to create the visual identity for this year’s conference, we knew it was an opportunity to do something special.

In today’s crowded marketplace, strong branding isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a non-negotiable.

When it comes to eCommerce, experience is everything. A beautifully designed product page will grab attention, but a smooth, simple checkout journey is what converts that attention into sales.

We love creative projects that combine sharp design thinking with real-world impact — and our recent work with Canon is a perfect example.

Nestled within the iconic walls of Battersea Power Station is The Engine Room. Our new home. And we couldn’t be more excited! What a place for a design agency to call home!!
