Graphic designer Alan Critchley worked as a freelance graphic designer for Nabisco (now Cereal Partners - Nestlé cereals) and Rank Xerox, at which time he met Dave Suter. In 1978 Alan and Dave partnered together to start Beaver Design, which was a graphic design company.

In 2001, Beaver Design came together with Managed Information Technologies Limited, run by directors Barry Thurston and Peter Critchley, to form the 'Beaver Group'. Beaver Group is a technology company which specialises in digital signage, design and web technologies, with a range of software solutions for the display of messages to customers.
