Westley Richards & Co.

We’re the first to admit that we’re pretty spoilt when it comes to lovely brands to work with and this is certainly no exception. Westley Richards & Co have kindly asked us to re-develop their online presence and create an environment which truly reflects the history, craftsmanship and desirability of the brand. We can’t wait to get started.

The teaser is up and there has been lot’s of hype and some very interesting theories as to what the countdown reveals. The guardian was one of many site’s to feature the teaser. Everyone will have to wait  and watch this space to see what the light is at the end of the teasing tunnel!
