migration
story
Previously working together as the leadership team at Small Back Room, in late 2024, we established Canary & Co - a new name but far from a standing start.
Joined by design & delivery teams, we continue to do what we love doing - solving problems creatively, with an established track record built on mindset & skillset.
Gavin Tuck
Managing Director
Defining, designing & delivering long-term complex place and destination brands. Understanding of & continual learning from the stakeholder mix has shaped his approach for all our clients - always human first.
With 35+ years experience, Gavin has an unwavering enthusiasm for realising the creative potential of every project. It’s about the idea, the opportunity & how you think - regardless of service, sector or scale, especially important & rewarding when the outcomes help make a real-world difference to everyday lives.
Experience includes:
Gavin created & led the place brand for Regent Street - from 2000, helping The Crown Estate realise the asset value, from unloved thoroughfare to London’s destination for flagship stores, a new commercial district for the capital & sustainable engaging urban environment (way beyond street level). Appointed to brand the central London asset, our strategy plotted the place trajectory - the brand planned for & actively embraced change as it happened - success building success.
This groundbreaking project led to a number of exciting opportunities, including; Sheffield city centre regeneration (The Moor & Heart of the City) for Aberdeen, New River, SCC & Queensberry; Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool for Aberdeen; & Dolphin Square, London for AXA IM.
Erin Rigg
Strategic Director
Building understanding to establish clear strategy & storytelling - to define, differentiate & communicate propositions that inform & engage.
Part of the property & placemaking industry for 20+ years, witnessing its ever-evolving challenges & opportunities - but constantly reminded that connecting in relevant & meaningful ways, is achieved only through appropriate & strategically driven creative solutions & communications.
Experience includes:
Dolphin Square, London SW1 (AXA IM)
Leading all resident & stakeholder engagement, brand, marketing, communication & PR activities, supporting an extensive seven-year Restoration Programme of 1,500 rental apartments. Our strategy defined the brand hierarchy - creating a manifesto-led brand managing phased change & disruption, running concurrently with a meanwhile brand, supporting ongoing leasing & protecting the balance sheet, eventually transitioning to final place brand, bringing new & re-positioned product to the market.
Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool (Aberdeen)
