Arran Thompson – Director & Master Craftsman
Tallow Build was founded by Arran Thompson, an experienced builder and joiner with a passion for quality and a reputation for reliability. With nearly two decades of hands-on experience in the construction industry, Arran brings a wealth of knowledge gained both in the UK and internationally.
For several years, Arran lived and worked in Australia, where he ran a highly successful construction business. There, he honed his skills on a wide range of residential and commercial projects, further developing his eye for detail, project management expertise, and commitment to excellence. That international experience continues to influence his approach — blending UK building standards with the efficiency and innovation of Australian construction methods.
Arran takes a personal interest in every Tallow Build project, ensuring the team upholds the highest standards from start to finish. His approachable nature, strong work ethic, and deep technical knowledge have earned the trust of clients across York and North Yorkshire.
