The Special Works division is led by co-directors Kevin Day and Richard Thorpe who, supported by Sam Thompson and Nick Newbould, take an active role in ensuring that we deliver all of our projects to extremely high standards.

These repeat-working relationships have been established through a culture of collaboration and a sense of pride in the quality of the finished product.
