Wanted - Graphic Designer with style, class and experience

I want a new designer for print and press for this tiny agency I have, but I don't quite know how to go about it.

Someone with more than the usual
I want someone local to me (Oxfordshire) with a darned good book who can do conceptual stuff as well as logos, mailers, catalogues, folders etc, and the usual mundane things like stationery and so on. They've got to be freelance, or thinking of going freelance, and they've got to want to work with me, not for me. I've got a great designer, but he's a long way away, and he's not really interested in helping, by which I mean going beyond the box of simply being an outsourced graphic designer. Sure he loves doing my design work, and getting paid for it, but I want someone who is more interested in working as if in a partnership way. Someone I can really sit down with and discuss clients, and to whom it matters that we do what we can to help them, and therefore ourselves. My guy leaves it all up to me, and I don't work best that way. I'm used to being in a team. I'll pay for their time on design work, but I want someone who will really contribute to the way things go forward, help us get work, and what's more keep it. And that means being pro-active, and sometimes doing work speculatively to show clients what we are thinking. The rewards will be more work because if we can work together well, we can create more. But what's more, for the right person it could be 50:50 shares in the fullness of time (say after nine months/one year).

It's better to share
So you're probably someone who, like me, does better if there is someone to share things with, to discuss, encourage and help. I don't want someone who is going to pretend to be these things and then rush off to get the first full-time job they are offered (been there, etc). You've got your own (Mac) kit, and know all the usual things like Quark, Photoshop, Illustrator etc.

And you've also got your own work, that's keeping you going, but is not quite floating your boat, Or maybe you find the strain of getting new work outweights the benefits of doing it. If so, you're a bit like me, and we could think about a solution together.

Time to change - for the better?
You may work out of your home, or in an office. I do the former but would rather the latter. And that means if you're in a similar position, and a designer, we should talk. Hit the comments button. The same applies if you have space for rent in an office that either need advertising/design/marketing, or have a like-minded group already.

And if I've happened on a designer this way, in the Berks, Oxon, Gloucs, East Wilts areas, give me a shout via the comments, and I'll point you to our website. Or if you've got any ideas that don't cost the earth as to how I can find such a person, I'd love to see them via comments.
