Ben Whittington

Ben Whittington is the co-owner and a Director at Creative Solutions, which he has run alongside his brother Jedd for over two decades. A true all-rounder, Ben has spent his career helping businesses turn ideas into print and graphics that work in the real world - the right size, the right materials, and the right approach for where it’s going to be used.

While Jedd leads on the hands-on creativity and bespoke design work, Ben is typically the person driving the organisation behind the scenes: clarifying the brief, confirming specifications, keeping projects on track, and making sure what’s produced is practical to install and performs as expected once it’s in place. That operational focus is especially valuable on time-sensitive projects such as exhibitions, events, retail campaigns and business signage, where small details can make a big difference on-site.

Over two decades in the industry has also given Ben a clear view of how signage and print have evolved - from how customers buy and plan projects, to the expectations around finish, consistency and reliability. His advice is shaped by what works in practice, and his writing focuses on helping customers make confident choices and avoid common pitfalls before artwork goes to print.
