Managing Director

My role at Toast

As Toast’s Managing Director, I wear many hats. I am responsible for the overall commercial side of the business, its direction, marketing and how we get to where we want to be next.

Despite this, I am still very hands-on with the work and frequently get directly involved in WordPress projects for our clients.

Personal Bio:

I am an Art School graduate with various artistic slants, including an HND in illustration and a BA(Hons) in Graphic design.

I set Toast up with my co-founders in 1997, six months after graduating with my degree.

I built Toast’s first website in ’97 and have worked on every kind of project imaginable, from creating brands to designing brochures, magazines, and reports.

Around 2008, I moved our company sites to WordPress and started to use WordPress for all our client web work. I now work exclusively in bespoke WordPress development, creating a unique bare-bones theme with my developers.

Toast is now one of the top graphic design agencies in the UK. With a staff of 16 and a seven-figure turnover, we’re in the top 10% of UK design agencies.

As an experienced designer, WordPress developer, SEO expert and business owner, I think I bring a lot to the party that can help our clients grow their businesses, not just make things look nice.

I’m straight-talking and focusing on improving our clients’ bottom line using creative thinking and delivery.

Outside of work, I enjoy biking (the kind with a motor), blogging on my personal site (daveforeman.co.uk), and doing things that most people enjoy.

Qualifications:

Ba(Hons) Graphic Design from Brunel University.

I can help you with:

Branding, WordPress development, website planning and optimisation, search engine optimisation, AI automation, Replit, Zapier, Hosting, website technical optimisation, DNS, Website design, copywriting, strategy and growth hacking.

Previous experience:

I set up Toast when I was 23, so my previous agency experience is nonexistent besides a few freelance gigs. In addition to running Toast, I co-run a successful SEO agency, work as a freelance illustrator, and create colouring books for kids (you can buy them on Amazon).

I also co-started the UK’s first AI-generated image library: impossibleimages.ai.

Probably my most notable experience is working in organic SEO, where I got Toast to the top of the search results for hundreds of commercial-intent keywords. I’ve also done the same for my personal and client websites.

How can I edit my brochure?

Different formats for brochures.

Using different formats for brochures can really make them stand out. Just because it’s a brochure, it doesn’t mean that it has to be A4. We’ve designed 100s of brochures – below are a few of the non-standard brochure designs we’ve produced.
