Brief Case: On Liverpool's Lord Street.

DESIGN and marketing agency liguid, on Liverpool's Lord Street, has seen staff numbers grow by more than 50% in the past 12 months. The agency now employs 16 compared with just two when it relocated to Liverpool from London in 2003. Expansion has also led to another relocation from offices in Wood Street's Tea Factory to two floors of specially designed studio space on Lord Street. "Our office at the Tea Factory was bursting at the seams with the extra designers and freelancers we took on to deal with the heavier workload," said managing director Chris Mitchell.
