Peek Home had offered clients an entirely online architects service, providing designs and 3D models for homeowners looking to upgrade their properties.

The Tynemouth-based business developed out of a hobby of co-founders Roland and Jaemi Glancy, who had initially helped friends draw up visions for their homes.

Having launched two years earlier, the firm secured £370,000 investment in 2023 from renowned angel investor Simon Murdoch, who has backed companies such as Zoopla, Shazam and Carwow, as well as funding from the North East Innovation Fund, supported by the European Regional Development Fund, and managed by Northstar Ventures.
