Nice to meet you.
We’re Finch Design Co.

We are a team of thinkers, designers, and web builders based in Norfolk. We step in when brands hit a wall. If your website isn't selling, or your brand has lost its way, we help you fix it.

No jargon, no fluff, just smart design that works.

Why we do it.

With over 20 years in the game, we've seen trends come and go.

But one thing stays the same: a good business needs a strong brand and a website that actually works. We love the "lightbulb" moment when a client finally gets a visual language that fits them perfectly, or when their new digital storefront starts bringing in real sales. We bring everyone on the journey, from the first chat to launch day.

Meet the Team

  • A man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a white button-up shirt and a black watch, leaning against a beige wall, smiling and looking to the side.

    Mat Finch

    Founder, Creative Director & Brand Guardian

    For the last ten years, I've loved bringing brands to life. But I started this agency to go deeper. Instead of just handing over a pretty design, I want to be your Brand Guardian, helping you untangle your strategy and build a website that acts as a living sales funnel.

    I'm proud of the local community we champion here in Norfolk, and the global brands we help along the way.

    Alfie

    Mascot and all-round good boy

    My main interests are guarding the Finch Design Co HQ, especially against the delivery drivers - they scarper pretty quickly, so I must be doing a good job.

    I also lead on making sure the humans get away from their screens across the day for cuddles, fusses and walkies. You can find me most days in the background of video calls - just ask to say hello!

What our clients are saying

  • A smiling man with short hair wearing a checkered shirt.

    ★★★★★

    The team at Finch Design Co are real pros. They understood Gatekeeper’s brand and its customers and struck exactly the right tone with their collateral. They’re patient and meticulous and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

    Ian Bryce | Head of Marketing at Gatekeeper

  • Portrait of a smiling woman with long brown hair wearing a black top.

    ★★★★★

    I would highly recommend Finch Design Co... the experience has been great from start to finish. Communication was very quick and easy from the offset, and the work produced was of excellent quality. We had some printed leaflets produced, along with some PDF user manuals for our customers. All iconography, imagery and text were laid out in a very clear and customer-focused way, and he really made an effort to understand our desired business outcomes. We will definitely be using his services again in the future!

    Smile Frankish | COO Little Green Button

  • Young man with short dark hair smiling, wearing a brown blazer over a shirt, standing outdoors with blurred trees in the background.

    ★★★★★

    I've worked with Mat & FDC for over seven years, across three different businesses.

    Mobilityways works with over 250 of the UK's largest organisations and it is important that we have a design partner that is reactive to quick timescales, whilst committed to exceptional quality. Rather than build out our internal resource, we prefer to rely on the diverse range of talent at FDC and see them as an extension to our own team.
