Specialist design and marketing solutions for construction and fit-out companies.

– about Garda

Your construction business is doing well – but it’s time to take your firm to the next level, and you’ve realised that the only way you can do this well is to get a firmer handle on your marketing activities.

You may have some marketing knowledge. You might have dabbled in campaigns or asked for help from local freelancers or agencies in the past. Now, you’re eager to work with a team that understands the unique challenges you’re facing and has a proven track record in delivering real results for other companies in your industry.

– Our approach

We’re Garda, and we’re here to help you win new customers and strengthen your brand.

With more than 15 years’ experience in providing design and marketing services to construction companies, Garda is fast becoming the go-to marketing agency for construction and fit-out companies in Essex and the South East of England.

Our comprehensive approach covers everything from brand design, graphic design, and website design and development through to digital, video, copy, and PR.

If your construction business is ticking along nicely, but you feel you’re punching below your weight, speak to us. We can support you at any stage of your marketing journey, but we are particularly adept at redefining and realigning our clients’ brand identities to make sure their digital and printed assets reflect their amazing work and attract attention from the right prospects.

“Since we brought Garda on board a few years ago they have opened our eyes to some exciting marketing strategies and opportunities. Their experienced team have become an integral part of the Environtec journey as we continue to expand our service offering and grow the business.”

Work with a marketing partner that speaks your language

We have a unique understanding of the construction market, and a strong grasp of your clients’ processes and pain points. Speak to us openly and honestly about the challenges you’re facing, and we’ll use our experience to get you out of the weeds and back into the driving seat.
We’re not fazed by jargon, and you can rest assured that everything you share with us will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Keep your strategy on track with regular check-ins

By arranging regular marketing meetings with yourself and your key stakeholders, we make sure no opportunities are missed. These carefully planned catch ups not only give us a chance to feed back on our activity to date and ensure we’re accountable for your progress – they also allow you plenty of time to explore new ideas with a team of marketing professionals who can help you weigh up your options and allocate your resources to the right areas. Monthly or bi-monthly meetings can take place in person or online.

Access our wider network of marketing professionals

Over the years, we’ve built up a fantastic bank of associates with varying skills. We regularly bring these external team members in to assist with client projects. For us, this way of working is much more cost-effective than employing different skillsets in-house – and we can often pass these savings down to you.
From designers, copywriters and videographers to PR consultants and digital marketing professionals, there are plenty of people we can call upon to give your project the edge.

Our Clients

Our construction clients in the spotlight

We’ve been fortunate enough to work with many industry leaders since we first started trading in 2002 – and back in the Noughties, we made a conscious decision to focus on partnering with mid-sized construction companies that had big ambitions but limited marketing knowledge.

Fast forward to now, and we have dozens of happy clients on our books, including well-known businesses in the construction and fit-out spaces.

Client Experience

Brown & Carroll
Fitout

We helped this well-known fit-out company raise its profile and triple its turnover with a full rebrand, new website, project profiles, and a series of assets including brochures, newsletters, and social media management.

A.W. Hardy
Construction

As well as creating a best-in-class website for these well-known local building contractors, Garda spotted an opportunity to drive a more impactful sales strategy on the team’s behalf. The result? A much more positive experience for prospects and customers at every touch point – and improved conversions at tender stage.

Environtec
Environmental Services

Environtec contacted Garda in need of a professionally designed brochure. Several conversations later, it became clear we could add value in more ways. Now, we play an instrumental role in improving Environtec’s brand visibility across all departments, expanding their approach with content marketing and paid search capabilities. Regular marketing meetings ensure their output remains on track and keeps us tuned in to internal developments.

ECS Systems
Security & Fire Specialists

The biggest challenge for us in the early phases of ECS’ campaign was updating the company’s branding to reflect its fantastic work within a range of sectors, including domestic, commercial, education and high net worth markets. We have helped the team bring their offering back in line and find new ways to reach each audience segment.

Integra
Fitout

Integra’s website is one of our proudest achievements. Following a thorough audit, we redesigned and redeveloped the company’s online platform, and we have continually produced outstanding photography to complement the site’s strong messaging. We updated Integra’s logo with a concept that was close to the MD’s heart, adding a uniquely personal element to the design that touches upon Integra’s legacy.

BPC Interiors
Partitioning

Having worked with BPC Interiors for many years, Garda is always on hand to respond to the business’s project requirements on an ongoing basis. We have helped BPC Interiors maintain its digital presence by sharing news items and social media content on the company’s behalf, taking what would otherwise be time-intensive jobs away from the leadership team.

DMC Contracts
Flooring Specialists

When we first became involved with this specialist finishing contractor, the Essex-based team was aware that their branding and website no longer reflected their business. We developed a site that better communicated the high-end nature of their work, and even assisted with the creation of a strapline that adds clarity and weight to their brand image.

Loughton Contracts
Flooring Specialists

Loughton Contracts is a leading flooring contractor in London that needed to level up. When we were introduced to the company more than 12 years ago, we set about overhauling its branding; we replaced a tired, grey palette with a much more contemporary and versatile profile that has been used throughout the brand’s marketing materials ever since.

London Drywall
Fitout

A chance conversation with a recruitment candidate exposed shortcomings with London Drywall’s previous website – so management contacted Garda for a brand new platform. We didn’t make any changes to the company’s brand identity, but we did upgrade the visuals with excellent photography, including professional, up-to-date headshots for the new Meet The Team section.
