The Water of Life is such a great expression.
Fundamental, elemental and full of promise, it is a phrase found in fairy tales, science fiction and even the bible!
Noble Ox in full flow
For Nicholas Hepworth, founder of Common Futures, water really is fundamental. Pioneering new ways to manage the life-giving resource equitably, Common Futures brings a fresh approach to the complex challenges of international development, climate change, environment and water management, and ‘doing business’ sustainably.
In summer 2011, Nick commissioned Noble Ox to create a brand, visual identity and website for Common Futures. In October, Common Futures launched and the client was delighted:
"Establishing a new entity is a daunting prospect, so working with Noble Ox has been brilliant; we knew we were in safe hands from the start. Listening with sensitivity and perception, Charlotte led us through the branding process. From there, she devised a bold, robust online approach inspiring the rest of the Noble Ox creative team to go the extra mile and deliver a fantastic visual identity and website...”

Water of life
The phrase also gives us the word whisky, derived from uisge beatha, the Gaelic for water of life. Not surprisingly, this was the preferred definition on the Noble Ox Night at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in November. Here, we were truly blessed with a life-affirming range of stunning single cask malts, a memorable evening, with great company...
"The event had a great feel. On the way home I genuinely thought myself very lucky to have been invited to such a special but low key tasting." John Mark Di Ciacca ~ JEF Developments Ltd
A BIG thank you to the Society, Noble Ox looks forward to hosting more events in the year to come.
