We also recognise the moral, economic and social reasons to make diversity, inclusion and equality central to our work.

As highlighted by United in Design, there has been a lack of diversity within the UK interior design profession to date.

We are keen to listen and aim to remove the barriers to entry and progression in the profession through greater equality across our work and improved recruitment and training of our staff.

That includes widening our search when recruiting new team members and ensuring that any job we advertise underlines the fact that it is open to everyone.
