Illustration | PTS - Personalised Retirement Illustrations​​​​​​​

How do you capture 40 years of impact in a single image? That’s the question that started it all.

The first piece was created for Kevin Perrett, our founder. It wasn’t just a retirement gift. It became the visual story of PTS itself.

I turned his journey into an illustrated map of memory and progression. A portrait that charts how both Kevin and the PTS brand evolved over four decades.

• The London taxi wrap, one of PTS’s most recognisable campaigns, drives through the scene as a symbol of the brand’s visibility beyond the office walls.

• Key buildings that PTS helped shape rise across the skyline. Landmarks of the company’s growth and expertise.

• The setting anchors itself around Liverpool Street, the heart of PTS and home to many of our offices over the years.

• And hidden within it all are personal Easter eggs. Inside jokes only Kevin’s team would catch, nods to his humour, leadership quirks, and the culture he built from the ground up.

We revealed the piece during PTS’s 40th anniversary event at the OWO in London. He stood there surrounded by the people and the company he built. For a moment, the artwork was the story.

Kevin’s illustration became more than a portrait. It became a blueprint for storytelling through design and the start of a visual tradition that continues to celebrate the people behind PTS.

Because design isn’t just about making things look good. It’s about making people feel seen.
