Our Story
The L&C Company was born out of a friendship between Lucy Manchester-Anderson and Claire Grant which spans decades. They shared a love of interior design and a desire to run a business together.
The company started in 2005 when they gained an opportunity to create the interiors of a show home for a developer friend. Nothing was too much trouble for L&C to deliver their first project, they went out of their way to ensure the show home was exceptional for their Client and their dedication paid off.
Since then, the company and the L&C brand have grown steadily through word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat customer requests. Lucy and Claire and their team remain as obsessed with delivering excellence for their Clients as they were when The L&C Company first began.
Together, Lucy & Claire have created, and continue to nurture, a culture that is inspiring and supportive and in which their team flourishes. In this way, all their Clients are treated as if they were the first that ever worked with The L&C Company…albeit with a lot more experience!
Our Ethos
