With the new website now finished and live, i was just looking back through the experience of handing my name over to someone else and saying "what would you do?" PJT stands for Peter James Tonks and was always going to be my business name when i set up in 2003 and just refers back to the thousands of drawings…

Nice little result yesterday.... after an on and off 2 year battle with Mole Valley District Council in Surrey, we received planning permission for this replacement dwelling in the Green Belt.
