The fall in group turnover was driven by lower incomes in Europe and the Rest of the World, which suffered a combined 50% reduction from £10m in 2024 to £5m in 2025.

In Europe, the firm’s turnover fell from £922,267 to £540,661, while income from the rest of the world more than halved from £9,223,403 to £4,396,921.

The practice has also cut 14% of its staff in the past year, from 331 employed by the group in 2024 to 286 in 2025.

Work the firm has won during the accounting period include a masterplan job for Trinity College Dublin, a transformation of London’s Regent Street and a masterplan in Croydon.
