The school where we learned. The club where we made friends. The community our parents call home. The workspace where an idea became a company.

Why Thanehold.
In Anglo-Saxon England and medieval Scotland, a thane held land granted by the crown, and was trusted to protect it, serve the people on it and pass it on in good order. A thanehold was what a thane kept.
We chose the name because it describes what we try to be: long-term keepers of businesses that communities depend on.
