Motorpoint
Motorpoint LogoMotorpoint has been instrumental in revolutionising the way in which the British public has bought new and nearly new cars.

To date, Motorpoint has sold over 180,000 cars – saving customers over £90 million in the process on franchised dealer prices.

This equates to a saving of around £5,000 on every car sold – enough to take a family of four on holiday to Florida (and have some change). In fact, such has been the impact of Motorpoint that it is the only car supermarket to have sold a car to every postal area in the UK.

Today, Motorpoint can rightly lay claim to being Britain’s biggest and best car supermarket. With five sites nationwide, no other car company can offer the choice of marks or models under one roof.

Axis has worked closely with Motorpoint to raise their profile throughout Scotland.

NodaThe National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA)
is the main representative body for amateur theatre in the UK. It has a membership of over 2500 amateur theatre groups and 3000 individual enthusiasts throughout the UK, staging musicals, operas, plays, concerts and pantomimes in a wide variety of performing venues, ranging from the country's leading professional theatres to village halls.

Axis has worked closely with NODA in developing their national profile, particularly during the launch and release of The Likes of Us - the first collaboration between the award-winning team of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. The relationship began when a 17 year-old Lloyd Webber received a letter from then 21

year-old Rice offering himself as a “with-it writer”. And there a winning partnership was born. Although written in 1965, The Likes of Us has only ever been performed twice, and Rice and Lloyd Webber moved on to global hits such as Joseph, Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar. However, The Likes of Us was never forgotten and now with the approval of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber it is being launched by NODA and the Really Useful Group to amateur theatres prior to its professional release and eventual appearance in the West End. Not only is this a brave and ground-breaking move, but an exciting one for anyone involved in theatre.

Axis achieved considerable coverage for NODA, including an appearance by Tim Rice and NODA members on BBC Breakfast.
