Ideas, inspiration and the latest stories about our work.
We were approached by Thomas & Thomas, est. 1899, to create a new website that would usher their long-established business into the future.
A 125-year heritage underpins Thomas & Thomas’ services as commercial building surveyors, with roots in the illustrious Grand Central Canal Company. The Thomas name has passed through the generations since the 1890s, continuing to provide construction consultancy services over an impressive century and a quarter.
Today, Director Jonny Callard takes the lead alongside fellow Director, George Charalambous. The two are charismatic, capable and very good humoured. Their combined reputation along with their young and energetic team means that Thomas & Thomas is continuing to strive, develop and evolve. In fact, their approach is cutting-edge and more than ready to meet today’s construction industry demands.
Inca Creative worked with the T&T team to understand how they wanted to present themselves with a forward-thinking outlook whilst still respecting their history. Interestingly, the onus was very much on leaning forward rather than back, as many other businesses might in order to anchor themselves in longevity. For T&T, whilst their foundations are solid, their aspirations are front-facing and keen. They embrace the latest techniques and technology to bring a thoroughly modern thrust to their projects.
The website features a bold contemporary style, and modern geometric fonts coupled with traditional British racing green livery with hints of bronze and gold.
Clean lines, straight talking and clear thinking summarises the intent of this website. The outcome is spacious, understated and business like, while still retaining an approachable tone of voice with hints of the characters behind the scenes and, overall, a light touch. Images of their work illustrate their range. Sectors and Services are clear and concise. All is professional and orderly, as it should be, meanwhile ‘people’ located along the main navigation, reveals the team, their ethos and a lively spirit with genuine cohesion. There’s just a wee bit of maverick on display here – meet the Director’s and you’ll quickly see the full dynamic.
We enjoyed working with the Thomas & Thomas team and were delighted to be invited to attend their Christmas drinks and website launch event at the beautiful Glaziers Hall – London Bridge venue.
“The website was and is an interesting project that we will continue to collaborate on and update on a regular basis. Working with you and your team is an absolute pleasure.”
