PLUMBING & HEATING

Rebrand of a family-run trade business into a confident, blue-collar identity. Includes van livery, invoicing system and a bookings site.

CLIENT

Hartley & Sons

OVERVIEW

Hartley & Sons had built a reputation on reliability, but their visual identity looked dated and failed to reflect the quality of their work. The rebrand kept the warmth of a family business while adding the confidence of a modern service brand. A bold wordmark, navy-and-copper palette, and straightforward stationery system now run across every customer touchpoint, from the vans on the road to the online booking experience.
