“I’d always wanted to work with elstree studios. it was a business goal of mine for 7 years. a month after i had my van designed by marshmallow, i had a call from the set construction designer who said i’ve seen your van. can you come down? now we’re in there regularly.”

OUR ENTIRE REASON FOR EXISTING…
IS TO reinvent over-worked trades that have hit a ceiling in their business, become go-to brands.
DON’T just TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...
WE GOT YOU.
If a successful Trades business means we are burnt out, stressed, not seeing our loved ones, suffering relationship break downs or making ourselves physically and mentally sick - what is the point of it all?
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this. Join the campaign to take a stand against suicide.
We stand in support of CALM.
They take all the pain out of brand and marketing so it’s easy to understand and stress free. Exactly what a busy CONSTRUCTION company like ours needed!
