A fond farewell
In 2006 we set out with a simple vision.
To create a place where great creative work can happen.
A place where a diverse bunch of talented folk can be inspired and nurture their ambitions.
To build a culture not just a company.
A home for passionate thinkers, dreamers, inventors and makers.
And on this amazing journey we’ve met some wonderful people.
We’ve delivered projects close to home and across the world.
We’ve shared stories and ideas while coming up with new ones.
We’ve made big plans together, and made them happen.
We’ve been a team of 4, we’ve been a team of 44.
We've laughed, learned, travelled and grafted together, and enjoyed every last bit of it.
But all good things come to an end.
In 2018, after nearly 12 incredible years, The Neighbourhood closed its doors.
We are immensely proud of what we have achieved here.
We ended on a positive, delivering great work with the same passion that started this adventure.
And now we need to fulfil some new personal ambitions.
The passion for creativity that defined The Neighbourhood will now fuel our next adventures.
And it will also live on in the talented people we have worked with, who carry that spirit forward on theirs.
So a huge thank you to everyone who has been on this remarkable journey with us.
It’s been ace.
It’s time write the next chapter...
