"Dr William Brown, an engineer in the heroic mould who designed many of the world's most elegantly adventurous suspension bridges." The Times

Writing and publishing the biography of Bill Brown and telling the story of his creation of world-class bridge designs was the culmination of a 20-year design and business collaboration between 301’s MD David Boxall and the pre-eminent engineer.

David Boxall set up the brand communications of Brown Beech and established B2 as a brand name recognised throughout the world of civil engineering and bridge design. He ran the B2 business for 10 years and then set up 301 to further digital design and help other businesses build their brands.

Telling the story

301 Design took on the ambitious book publishing project to celebrate the career of an engineer who created iconic structures that have transformed cities and regions across the world.

Design innovation

The biography was authored, designed, edited and published as a 148-page hardback book entirely by the 301 team.

A limited edition were also published in a handmade presentation box.

A publishing triumph

Launched at the Institution of Civil Engineers headquarters in Westminster, London, Bill Brown’s Bridges has been distributed throughout the world of engineering and design to considerable acclaim.
