We’re thrilled to announce that Creadigol Design has been named a finalist in the UK Startup Awards 2025, specifically nominated for the Creative StartUp of the Year Award in Wales! This prestigious recognition celebrates our innovative approach to motion design and branding and validates our belief that exceptional creative work can emerge from anywhere, including right here in North Wales.
Founded by Daniel Parry Evans in 2022, Creadigol Design is part of an exceptional cohort of over 750 businesses that have been shortlisted for this year’s UK StartUp Awards – a program that recognises the booming start-up scene across the UK.
About the UK StartUp Awards: Celebrating Entrepreneurial Excellence
The UK StartUp Awards was launched to recognise the booming start-up scene across the UK, which has accelerated dramatically over recent years, with 846,000 new businesses founded in the UK in 2024 alone. This remarkable growth demonstrates the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit driving innovation across all sectors.
The impact of this year’s finalists is significant – collectively, these 750+ shortlisted businesses, all founded within the last three years, have:
- Created over 4,600 new jobs since their establishment
- Generated annual sales of £200 million
- Contributed substantially to the UK’s economic growth and innovation landscape
Supported nationally by Airwallex, Join Talent & V Rum, the programme celebrates the achievements of individuals who have turned ideas into opportunities and taken the risk to launch new products or services.
As Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE, creator of the UK StartUp Awards, explains: “New businesses are the driving force behind any thriving economy, generating employment, pioneering innovation, and contributing to prosperity across the UK. This year’s finalists embody the very best of entrepreneurial spirit – spotting opportunities and, through dedication, skill, and resilience, turning them into thriving ventures that are making a tangible difference in their industries.”
The UK StartUp Awards, now in its fourth year since launching in 2022, was created in collaboration with the team behind the Great British Entrepreneur Awards – one of the UK’s most successful awards programmes. Regional winners will progress to the first UK final taking place at Ideas Fest – the ‘Glastonbury for Business’ festival in Hertfordshire on 12th September 2025.
From Sports Broadcast to Award-Winning Design Studio
Our journey began in 2022 when Daniel Parry Evans founded Creadigol Design with a simple but powerful vision: bringing brands to life through dynamic motion design. Drawing from our sports broadcast background, we recognised the untapped potential of merging traditional branding with cutting-edge animation to create visual identities that don’t just communicate – they captivate.
What started as experiments with After Effects and brand concepts has evolved into North Wales’ leading motion design studio, serving clients who demand more than static logos and traditional design approaches.
Where Branding Meets Motion: Our Unique Approach
At Creadigol Design, we believe that static branding isn’t enough in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. Our motion-first design philosophy ensures that every brand we create is built to move with purpose across all digital touchpoints.
Our sports broadcast expertise brings something unique to the branding world:
- Real-time graphics proficiency that translates to dynamic brand animations
- Split-second timing precision for impactful motion design
- Technical broadcast standards applied to digital brand experiences
- Live compositing skills that enhance our post-production capabilities
