For years, we’ve been dedicated to creating effective design, marketing, and web solutions for startups, SMEs, and established businesses alike . We love what we do – working with great people across different industries and always keeping our clients’ needs at the heart of every project .

Mat Finch
Founder & Creative Director
With over a decade in the creative industry, I’ve always been passionate about creating amazing experiences through the work I produce. Finch Design Company came from a place of wanting to work closer and more directly with clients to continue bringing an exceptional quality of work to clients and their businesses.
I’m incredibly proud of what Finch Design Company has achieved in such a short space of time, and look forward to our future; continuing to work with great people and produce amazing work.
However, when I’m not designing you can often find me baking some pizzas in the kitchen so if you ever fancy sharing a slice, you’re always welcome.

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!

★★★★★
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.

★★★★★
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!

★★★★★
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.
Basil Choudhry | Commercial Director, Mobilityways
