Graphic Designer (Vehicle Wrap & Production Design)
Remote | VA / Contractor Arrangement

About the Role
We are recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing UK-based vehicle graphics and branding company specialising in commercial vehicle wraps, fleet branding, and large-format print production.

The business is focused on delivering premium-quality work, exceptional client service, and building a long-term presence within the transport and fleet sectors. Alongside commercial growth, the company is also developing sustainability-focused initiatives within the vehicle wrapping industry.
