Help turn recognition into habitat!

Anyone who has watched a barn owl at dusk understands why we chose it as our company symbol - and named it Lyford.

At Lyford, everything we do is anchored in its defining attributes: agility, speed, and quiet confidence - the ability to see clearly and move with decisiveness.

Following a resounding public consultation win with over 270,000 votes, the barn owl has officially been chosen to feature on the next generation of Bank of England banknotes. Having proudly backed the public consultation, supporting the barn owl vote gathering in a big way, we are delighted to see our namesake gain the national recognition it so richly deserves.

Our connection to these magnificent birds goes far beyond our branding. Recognition on a banknote is a landmark tribute, but visibility in our wallets doesn’t guarantee survival in the wild - even the most agile hunter cannot outfly habitat loss. Protecting their future requires sustained conservation efforts on the ground, which is why we remain passionate advocates for their preservation and applaud the vital work of the UK’s leading sanctuaries and initiatives:

Let us turn engagement into action!

To support grassroots conservation and help combat habitat loss across the UK, Lyford will donate and fund the installation of a new barn owl nest box for every 25 likes our Linkedin post receives.
