Meanwhile, design art students at MidKent College were recently challenged with creating a logo for the upcoming Medway Business & Skills Showcase.

Those students who took part in the creation of the event’s logo were mentored by Clockwork Moggy, a marketing agency based in Rochester, before their entries were judged and the final design for the Showcase was chosen.

Megan Mackenzie’s design was selected as the winning design and was presented with a certificate by Cllr Lauren Edwards, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder for Economic Regeneration & Inward Investment.
