Therefore I need suggestions for a Gromuter with internal routing (like the Ribble CGR) but biggerer tyres (like the Ribble Adventure) as I want fat tyres with mudguards or light knobblies on occasion.
Mounting points for stuff, mudguards and racks a necessity, dynamo goodness and thruaxles yaddayadda.https://bikepacking.com/index/650b-gravel-bikes/ is a pretty comprehensive list to get you started

Not sure you’re painting an accurate picture of our decision not to progress with your project here! Appreciate it might have been a bit disappointing but please can we not give the impression that we have been rude or told you to stuff your money please?
Our model has changed to a project-by-project basis. We are so grateful to be in a position to do this and have done so to make raising our daughter together our main priority, not grappling for every potential build.
A little understanding of how negative throw away comments like this can be for two-person self-employed businesses, especially now, would be most appreciated.

Like any small (tiny) business they have to be selective in the work they choose to take on. When you are handling every single aspect of your business yourself, (and even more so when that business involves hand crafted work at the highest level), while simultaneously raising a family it's necessary to make decisions that may potentially disappoint one person in order to not disappoint several. It's never as simple or as personal as the company in question just 'not wanting my money'.
I've had several projects turned down by multiple small companies recently, but I accept that it is their right to do so. Likewise I myself have turned down projects for other people because I wasn't in a position to give them the service they deserve in a timeframe that is acceptable. -
Plenty of other builders can fulfill your requirements, alternatively fairlight?

Ok so August bikes have changed business model and don't want my money.

Alternatively any other custom builders worth talking to, probably want someone who can interpret my ramblings into a bike.
