Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of the team at HG Associates!
New brand identity and website, October 2023
We are incredibly proud to reveal our new brand identity and website!
As our team has grown and evolved over the past few years, we thought it was the perfect time to reflect on who we are and our core message. Our new branding reflects our growth and vision, whilst capturing our history, core values and expertise.
We have worked with the incredibly talented team at Creative Hutch who have guided us through the entire rebranding process, helping us get to the core of our brand and who we are as a business (both now and in the future). It has been a brilliant journey, and we are all very excited about what is to come!
We would also like to thank all the team at David Allen IT who have seamlessly undertaken the IT side of things for us as part of the rebrand.
Our new branding encapsulates our growth with particular focus on our expertise within heritage and rural settings, whilst maintaining a nod to our roots. The elegant hg lettering alongside our green accent symbol, which is evolved from the witch / apotropaic marks (of which we have often found etched next to the windows, doorways or fireplaces of the many historic and rural buildings we are lucky enough to work on), we feel portrays us very well and we are delighted with what Creative Hutch have done.
Please do visit our new website to learn more about who we are and the services we offer, covering our considered solutions across architecture, planning consultancy and quantity surveying, specialising in heritage and properties in rural settings.
Through our bespoke and sympathetic designs, heritage knowledge and multi-disciplinary experience, we can offer a more considered, efficient and cost-effective solution to our clients’ needs and we very much look forward to working with clients both old and new.

Press Release from H&H Land & Estates, February 2022
Further expanding the wide range of services we offer, we are proud to partner with the multi-disciplinary architectural practice Harraby Green Associates, and welcome Angus Hutchinson and Georgie Cray to our team of professional advisors. Their considerable expertise will enable us to provide planning advice on all types of projects from farm buildings to housing developments.
Georgie and Angus are certainly an impressive and well qualified duo. Angus Hutchinson has a BA(Hons) in Town and Country Planning, an MSc in Architectural Conservation and a Masters in Business Administration. As a qualified RIBA Chartered Architect and RIBA Conservation Architect, Georgie Cray has worked more than fifteen years in practice and has a great depth of local knowledge and understanding of working with heritage projects.
Commenting on this collaboration Tracey Jackson, Associate Director of H&H Land & Estates said, “We are delighted to be working with Harraby Green Associates, to strengthen the full range of professional services we are able to provide to our clients.
Their skillset complements those of our own professional team and means that we now offer a comprehensive integrated planning service, from start to finish. This will include site surveys, design and access statements, provision of architectural drawings, guidance through the planning application process, discharge of conditions, building regulation applications, right through to project management. It is a full and complete offering that will take away much of the stress associated with any such projects.”
Negotiating one’s way through any planning process can be fraught with problems and time and money can be saved by getting an authoritative initial opinion as to whether planning is likely to be granted before negotiating terms for acquisition, engaging architects or commissioning specialist studies. Angus with his thirty years’ experience is ideally suited to helping clients through this potentially arduous process.
“I am excited to be working with Tracey and her team at H&H Land & Estates,” said Angus. “There is a real synergy between our two companies and I am sure both will benefit from this partnership. Many landowners and farmers are wanting to diversity and often this involves some sort of building or conversion project. Georgie and I are looking forward to helping them successfully navigate their way through the whole process from conception to completion without any pitfalls.”
This collaboration is part of our strategic growth plan for our , which last year had a record year for property sales and has been growing its team and services to meet increasing demand. If you would like to get in touch with either Angus or Georgie they can be reached through our Borderway office Carlisle, on carlisle@hhlandestates.co.uk.
We offer a broad range of land agency services with a particular expertise in property sales and valuation, compulsory purchase and compensation, Common Land, environmental conservation and woodland schemes, as well as planning and architecture!
