We combine strategy, storytelling, and innovation to build impactful websites, brands and campaigns that drive growth and leave a lasting impression.

At Piston Design, our connection to the BASE Innovation Centre in Bordon, Hampshire goes beyond just our physical location. It is deeply personal and intertwined with our founder Barry Parker's family history. Barry's grandfather, Roy Barry Parker, proudly served with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), the very organisation that once occupied Broxhead House as its Officers Mess.
Knowing that this historic site held such significance for his grandfather and the REME, Barry feels a profound sense of pride and responsibility in making Piston Design a part of its legacy. We honour the memory of Roy Barry Parker and the countless individuals who gathered, dined, and found solace within these walls after the war.

As we walk through the grand and spacious business lounge, we imagine the conversations and camaraderie that took place in the past, paying homage to the elegance and heritage of Broxhead House. The gable wall of our tranquil Secret Garden serves as a poignant reminder of the tranquility that once enveloped these grounds, including the moments of respite Roy Barry Parker and his comrades experienced.

Piston Design draws inspiration from this extraordinary blend of history and innovation, carrying forward the spirit of excellence and pushing the boundaries of design. We embrace the opportunity to thrive within this inspiring environment, where the past merges with the present, allowing us to create groundbreaking solutions that honoUr the remarkable heritage of BASE Innovation Centre.

With BASE as our foundation and the proud connection to Roy Barry Parker, Piston Design embarks on a journey to leave our mark on the future while cherishing the legacy of this remarkable heritage site. We are driven by a shared commitment to excellence, growth, and success for businesses in the East Hampshire area and beyond, just as the REME and BASE Innovation Centre have embodied throughout their history.
