Our team is a blend of designers, makers and organisers. We are problem solvers and creative thinkers. We make beautiful things.
Andrew Parsons
We’re lucky to have Andrew with us, not least because he’s one of those resourceful types who builds things like cars in his spare time. We like creative people at TonyG because every job requires a slightly different approach in order to engineer the best outcome. He’s done the Jewsen lot in his last job and is a dab hand at managing orders, loading trucks and sorting the wood from the trees which also comes in handy when it’s all hand on deck.
Along with the zen of motorcar maintenance, Andrew likes fishing. A perfect hobby for honing the observations skills and patience required to be highly effective in Reprograhics.
Craig Butler
Craig has racked up years of experience travelling around the world creating stands for exhibitions and there’s no carpentry task he can’t turn his hand to. As part of a professional team he’s like the climate on the Algarve, reliable, warm and invariably sunny.
Craig's also an accomplished ballroom dancer who could challenge that Bruno Tonioli chap to a Tango, any day of the week.
Hannah Smith
Heather Golding
If TonyG is a garden, Heather’s the one keeping it watered. She understands the nature of the plants and pays attention to the soil. Building and maintaining a thriving business is all about creating the right conditions.
If TonyG is a school, Heather hopes she’s helped make it a very cool one for adults, where everyone is continually learning and growing while they just happen to be creating beautiful and useful things for brands on the side.
Heather Mitchell
Heather's experience managing large projects prior to joining TonyG meant she easily became a part of our busy team. Her organised, friendly approach ensures complex projects get up and out there on time and looking fabulous.
In contrast to her practical approach at TonyG, Heather's personal work is ethereal and dreamlike. You can find her paintings at www.heathermitchellart
James Short
Since graduating from our local Moreton Morrell College, Shorty has built up almost 20 years of hands-on experience in joinery. He’s worked domestically as a cabinet maker fitting kitchens and bespoke furniture as well as working on retail fitouts and exhibition installations.
Shorty’s got a passion for longs walks with his dog Iris and vintage cars, in particular classic minis. Watch out for him on the Italian Job.
Jo Gittings
Jo’s middle name should be Compliance. From HR to GDPR, she’s on it - no mean feat given our multi-disciplined business and the monolithic-like machines in the workshop and print production. She’s a multi-tasking list-lover and is perpetually up-to-date with safety and the what not to do’s with a long ladder and a big hammer.
Jo’s an allottmenteer in her spare time and can be relied on to bring in excellent jam, seasonal fruit and giant marrows.
Jacob Till
Jacob’s background in Product Design ensures that everything from craft to logistics fits together perfectly. He’ll troubleshoot every scenario before pressing play and making it look as if everything just fell into place.
After he’s ticked of his tasks for the day, Jacob’s chill list is very long. He’ll wind down with a game of hockey, rack up some miles on his road bike, thrash a colleague at table tennis or crack open a craft beer.
Jacqueline Parsons
Jackie’s background in automotive software engineering is the driving force behind her ability to get down to the real nuts and bolts of our finance department. She switches gears after work with long dog walks, badminton and bell ringing!
Jane Farrar
Jane is the red-thread of our creative projects and our own visual branding. She has a diverse range of design and illustration styles in her fingertips and is a keen mentor as well as an accomplished artist in her own right. See Jane's art here.
Like a session musician, Jane’s ready to fit in with any brand’s existing style, play to an art director’s baton or get on down to some free jazz.
Kamlesh Parekh
Kam’s background in typography and graphic design gives him the edge when it comes to coordinating our reprographics department. He manages the work flow like a traffic cop and monitors quality with a practiced eye, continually thinking of new creative ways to get the most out of print and vinyl whilst keeping wastage to a minimum.
He’s like a fish in water when it comes to his hobbies and enjoys swimming in the pool almost as much as he likes playing it, but as his other sport is Poker, you can’t actually tell.
Kristen Bradley
Kristen is the keeper of the coinage, good at looking after the pennies as well as not leaving the pounds look after themselves.
Offsetting her number crunching cranium are the nimble fingers of an accomplished seamstress. Like what she’s wearing? She probably made it herself. Creative accountancy of the right sort.
Laura Webster
Laura has worked in HR for the last 15 years. She loves getting to grips with employee well-being and motivation as well as the more nitty-gritty aspects of the job. Laura's also an expert in Belgium Malinois who are much more simple.
When Laura’s not promising us dog treats and a long walk, she’s running around after two active children and vaguely recalling the days when she had the time ride horses, surf waves and sing along to musicals.
Mark Oram
If talk of money can be heard over the scream of the workshop’s saws it will be Mark, drawing on the years he clocked up in financial services dispensing mortgage and pension advice. He’s swapped banks for planks and sawn through the chains of his adjustable office chair to make his passion into his nine to five. Mark's woodworking skills make him a very welcome addition to the talented, multi disciplinary team in our workshop. The mortgage advice is just a bonus.
Matt Harris
Matt’s a seasoned manager, mentor and joiner with many years in both domestic and commercial fit-outs, ranging from luxury, handmade kitchens to exquisite, retail environments. Since joining us at TonyG, he has redesigned the workshop and created a woodworker’s wonderland. Order, music and laughter mix harmoniously with raging table saws and heavy-duty sanders.
Along with as his technical skills and experience, Matt is excellent at dining out, in fact he’d challenge anyone to enjoy this more than him.
Oona Vaughan
Oona’s background in photography and art direction put her squarely in the picture as our instagram instigator. It’s easy to be too busy to post about the fabulous work we’re doing but Oona’s tenacity and energy is ensuring we get the message about our craftsmanship out there. When she’s not on location capturing images of the latest installation, she’s making sure everything involved in the production process goes smoothly from sourcing materials and setting up artwork, to following a job up and making sure vinyl has gone up correctly and ultimately deciding if we can put it on social media.
Weekends you might well find Oona with a pair of scissors flicking through magazines looking for her next collage as she enjoys a bit of tactile art, away from computers and cameras!
Rachel Gates
Rachel’s eclectic experience professionally makes her the ideal fit for the multiple skills required in her role at TonyG. The confidence she asserts comes from a background managing projects for local gyms and restaurants and hails back to the far flung reaches of Australia, where she worked as a manager in hospitality and tourism, including for a 4WD company which is where we think she honed her van driving prowess.
Rachel’s organisation skills extend to an allotment where she grows her own food (supplemented by the weekly shop) and a strict yoga routine that helps her look calm at least on the surface while she works and plays.
Rich Hegan
Rich’s background in Graphic Comms and a driven, goal-focused attitude to delivering brilliant solutions has resulted in valuable partnerships with our agency and retail clients. He’s a sustainability champion, leading our business and our clients towards a better carbon footprint.
After hours, Rich’s own footprints leave stud-marks. Whether he’s on or off the pitch, his striker’s instincts mean he’s consistently well-placed to score the goals.
Ross Ledger
With a career worthy of its own novel, our resident one-man IT crowd is a plate-spinner extraordinaire. Ross somehow balances raising a young family whilst managing our range of support needs, from ‘what happens when I press this?’ questions to creating the networking strength required to power our emerging tech demands.
Rhyan Leigh
Rhyan's previous work in the finance department of a flooring company has laid a good foundation for her role at TonyG. She keeps a record of how we spend money on a day-to-day basis so unfortunately no one gets to go wild with their company credit card on her watch.
Out side of work she's a DIY enthusiast and has enjoyed learning new making skills and turning her house around. If she wasn't so good at maths, she'd be going for a job in our workshop.
Scott Broadbent
Scott joined our Project Management team with a solid background in signage and installation, having spent the last ten years specialising in large-scale signage and graphics installations for schools, universities, and hospitals. His extensive experience and hands-on approach have equipped him with the skills and expertise needed to manage complex projects efficiently and effectively.
He’s a team player with a love of football that goes beyond supporting his local team Coventry City, and takes him out on to the pitch, rain or shine.
When he's not on the football field, or mixing ideas in the office, Scott is mixing it up behind the decks as a seasoned DJ, where he has been honing his skills since his student days studying journalism.
Stephen Morrey
Steve is an experienced joiner and craftsman, at least as passionate about his work as he is about film and music. Yin to Matt’s Yang, they came to TonyG as a pair and have the perfect complementary talents and aptitudes to ensure our workshop output is creative, efficient and exceeds expectations.
If Steve had a theme-tune it would be the Godfather. Legendary, mostly serious with occasional bombastic moments of joy.
Tobie Calvert
Graphic design is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to categorising Tobie’s input at TonyG. He works across the whole business, honing his skills on the application of design in print, on wood, and on walls as well as everything from video production to publishing.
Tobie’s agreeableness and curiosity are legendary, meaning his most frequently used word is ‘sure’, with and without a question mark.
Tom Maffey
Tom handles multi-layered projects that straddle digital and physical environments as well as being part of our leadership team. He’s a bit like Tony himself but with a knowledge base that includes Hololens and Unity as much as print and joinery.
His passion for combining innovation with motorsport may well lead us to the first hologram vehicle you can actually drive to work in.
Tony Golding
Tony is a maker and a do-er whose reputation for colour management and spirit for never giving a problem back to a client is the foundation of who we are today.
Tony still gets involved in company decisions, but these days he’s more interested in working on sustainable tourism in Morocco and preserving wildlife in England. And in how CCFC are faring of course. . .
The original TonyG
Tony G began working life in a photographic lab around the time Apple revolutionised graphic design. While designers swapped cut-and-paste for Photoshop, printing was still the smell of a darkroom and re-touching images by hand. For Tony, it was a lo-fi, expert training school in colour.
Clients soon found if you shared a production dilemma with Tony, he would sort it out. No matter if it went outside the boundaries of normal photographic production, he'd create the hanging system/metal/box/fabric finish/find a way to make the thing (insert brief here) work! Basically, Tony developed a reputation for a one-stop shop for expert production services.
Since 2003 Tony G has been TonyG Ltd - an ever-growing team doing things the Tony G way. A group of positive-minded, supportive people with that same collective pioneering spirit and can-do mentality.
Tony has earned the right for some partial retirement but is still a director. However, you're more likely to find him in the workshop than the board room, and failing that, a lone figure riding off into the Moroccan sunset
on two wheels.
