OUR FIRST visit to Mc & Sons was actually by chance. We were walking out of Vauxhall station and passed the pub along the way, P thinking it was the one he’d been telling me about that serves Thai food...
WHILE WE LOVE our work here at TIG and wouldn’t trade what we do for anything, sometimes doing what you love can involve long hours, and at those times (especially on Friday or Saturday evenings) having a glass of wine or a cocktail after finishing up can make things feel a little more celebratory.

When This Is Glamorous Interiors Editor Louise arrived to visit us here in Spain, we knew that the best place for her to stay would be The Westin Valencia.

Today, we’re working with HP to discuss the “tools of the trade”, or the things that make business run more smoothly.
