Pixel Media has recently began operating in and around Newton Aycliffe with owners Ian Proctor and Graham Marsh driving the business forward. Ian Grew up in Newton Aycliffe attending Greenfield Comprehensive School. Having left school in 1994, Ian worked at The Foresters Arms and then Thorn Lighting. He left to look after his young family whilst working part time at Tesco in Newton Aycliffe. Many remember his unique customer service on the tills where locals queued up to be served by him. During this time, Ian helped run toddler groups and youth groups in the town. He left Tesco in 2009 and trained as a teacher at Durham University where he specialised in IT. After a period teaching he planned a business venture as Happy Cabs, a taxi company, in and around Aycliffe.
Having ran the business successfully for over a year, Ian changed business direction by creating Pixel Media with long-standing friend Graham where his vision was to create amazing digital promotion material locally. Ian lives with his wife Alison who teaches in Newton Aycliffe and their 4 children who attend schools within the town. Graham grew up in Pelton and went to Newcastle College to study design. Graham moved to Aycliffe 15 years ago and ran the Youth Programme at the Xcel Centre. His passion to see young people reach their potential was infectious where he built relationships with young people in and around Newton Aycliffe for over a decade. He left here and returned to his design roots with a design company in Bishop Auckland where he rekindled his passion to create stunning digital designs.
Graham recently left his latest role as a youth worker where he again changed young people’s journeys in life for the better. He has now joined up with Ian to create Pixel Media and unlock his design potential and keen eye to detail. He currently lives near Bishop Auckland with his wife Janine and his two children. Together, Ian and Graham make up a dynamic team which can deliver on many differing levels to customers. Pixel Media is a design company that creates websites, promotional material, full branding, rebranding, signage, online marketing, pay per click advertising and social media assistance.
