The 6th of January 2026 marks ten years since the firm lost its founder, David Keltie.
Thank you
David Keltie was a remarkable person who, alongside Rosemary Cardas, founded Keltie back in 1988 because they “wanted to start something amazing.” And they did.
David’s energy, ambition and belief in doing things differently built more than a firm. It created a culture that values excellence, collaboration and individuality. That spirit continues to guide everything we do today.
Recently, Keltie staff came together to reflect and give thanks to David and Rosemary for the bold thinking that shaped our beginnings. The team marked the occasion with cake in the office and a visit to one of David’s favourite pubs, a fitting tribute to the people who shaped who we are.
Together, David and Rosemary laid the foundation for an organisation where meaningful work thrives. Their passion enables us to protect ideas, champion innovation and keep building something extraordinary for the future.

Thank you
