Why Kelcroft
By John Herbert
I am often asked about the origins and inspiration for the name Kelcroft.
Choosing a totally unique name is a difficult, yet important business
decision.
It needed to fit certain criteria namely relevant, unique, short, and
have easy recall.
After considering the options, I decided I needed to create an entirely
new word. Therefore I used two related words that would match the scope
of the business.
First the "KEL"
portion was derived from the work of a famous physicist and engineer
The Right Honourable William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. He amongst many
engineering achievements defined absolute zero, more commonly known
today as degrees Kelvin.

And "CROFT"
is old English word that means a property or land.
Therefore combining the brilliance of Kelvin, and the
property covered by croft
created the a totally unique inspirational name - Kelcroft.
