Our Mission

At Flambard Williams, our ultimate goal is to supply investors with competitive quarterly revenue streams, delivering products with strong potential to grow in asset value. We do this through expert solutions provided by our extensive network of property developers.

Charity Community

At Flambard Williams we believe that at some point in everyone’s life, help is needed. Whether that is short-term or long-term help, Flambard Williams is committed to helping others and has made and will continue to make a number of charitable donations. We have previously taken a week off work to source food from farmers and growers and work with charities such as CHESS to distribute the food. Other charities that are close to our heart are children’s charities such as Barnardos as we believe that if children have the best start in life they can possibly have it will create a better society in years to come.

We are also passionate about the environment. The MD, Christopher Whetstone, has 5 children and as aware unless we see a dramatic shift on policy and how we judge success, their future may be starkly different from his and not for the positive. This is why we will keep our carbon footprint down whereeve possible, use sustainable products in and out of the office and contribute to as many green charities where possible.

2023 will be a big year for our contributions as our very own Ricky Ellson is set to compete in the New York Marathon on 5th November. He will be documenting his training and his trials and tribulations along the way, stay tuned for some laughter and tears on Ricky’s journey. Importantly, stay tuned on how to donate.
