The Project That Started It All: Mason Oliver Brickwork
Before Brand & Build had a name, a logo, or a website of its own, there were already projects that brought us together. Real collaborations that showed us just how well we worked as a team, blending visual creativity with technical expertise. One of the very first – and still one of our favourites – was Mason Oliver Brickwork.
It feels only right to now shout about this project (and others like it) from the rooftops. These are the collaborations that sparked Brand & Build, and they’re great examples of how we can fit seamlessly into your business branding journey – whether you’re just starting out or looking for a refresh.
The Foundations
Mason Oliver Brickwork is based in Bishop’s Stortford and offers professional bricklaying and construction services across Essex and surrounding areas. They needed a full visual identity – something that reflected their skill, quality, and attention to detail – and they needed it to be practical, consistent, and long-lasting.
Hermione stepped in first, designing a brand identity that would not only look strong but also stand the test of time. She crafted a logo that was clean and bold, ideal for both print and digital use. Alongside that came a colour palette, a font pairing, and a full suite of print materials including:
- Business card design
- Letterhead layout
- Postcard and appointment cards
Everything was designed to work together – brand continuity from the first glance through to the final sign-off.
The Virtual Build
Once the visual identity was in place, Philip took the reins for the website. Using the colour palette and logo Hermione had developed, he built a site that was clean, responsive, and easy to navigate. The aim wasn’t to overload the page with unnecessary information – it was to let the work speak for itself.
We’re proud to say the website is still live and working perfectly, many years later. It's doing exactly what a good site should: representing the business professionally, making it easy for potential customers to get in touch, and backing up the branding with a trustworthy online presence.
The Power of Two
This project set the tone for many more collaborations between us. It confirmed that when Hermione leads the visual design and Philip handles the technical build, the result is cohesive, functional, and beautifully on-brand – from printed materials to the website.
And that’s what Brand & Build is all about: bringing the best of both worlds together to support businesses like Mason Oliver Brickwork with branding, marketing, and websites that truly work together.
