A design studio a few fields from Soho Farmhouse.
George is a member, so this stretch of north Oxfordshire is home turf rather than a postcode we've claimed. If you run a business around Great Tew, Chipping Norton or Charlbury, or you've met George there and wondered what the studio actually does, this is it. We build brands and the websites they live on, for people who tend to decide quickly.
Start a projectA member, not a marketing angle
Plenty of studios will tell you they're in the Cotswolds from an office two counties away. We're genuinely on this patch, and George is a Soho Farmhouse member, so the place is part of the week rather than a line on a map.
That doesn't buy you anything on its own. What it means in practice is that meeting is easy, we understand the kind of businesses that cluster around here, and there's a fair chance we already know someone you do.
An unusually dense room of founders
The stretch of north Oxfordshire around Great Tew and Chipping Norton holds a strange concentration of founders, creative directors and owners for somewhere so rural. People who built the thing they run, and who make the design decisions themselves rather than routing them through three layers of committee.
That's our favourite kind of client. The work goes faster, the conversations are honest, and nobody needs a forty slide deck to approve a logo. Word of mouth does most of the work out here, which suits a small studio that would rather earn the next job than pitch for it.
Close enough to do brand work properly
The studio's in Warwickshire, about forty minutes north, so getting in a room together is a normal thing rather than a production. For brand work that matters more than people expect. Workshops, first looks and the occasional awkward conversation all go better in person than over a call.
We work with people in Chipping Norton, Charlbury, Chadlington and the villages in between, as well as nationally. Local just means the convenient bits are convenient.
What we'd actually do for you
Brand identity, from a name and a position through to the whole visual system. Websites that are quick and earn enquiries rather than just looking the part. Digital product when the idea needs building, not only branding.
If you're weighing up a rebrand or a new site and you'd rather talk it through than fill in a form, say so. We'll tell you straight whether it's worth doing.
Common questions
- Is G&Co connected to Soho House or Soho Farmhouse?
- No. There's no formal connection or endorsement. George is simply a member, and the studio is independent. We mention it because it's why we know this area and the people in it well.
- Where is the studio actually based?
- Warwickshire, just outside Warwick, about forty minutes north of Soho Farmhouse. Close enough that meeting in person around Chipping Norton or Great Tew is straightforward, which for brand work we'd encourage.
- Do you only work with members or local businesses?
- No. Most of our work is national and some is international. The area around the farmhouse is a genuine local catchment for us, not a limit on who we take on.
