This week marks a very special moment for DV8 Designs as we celebrate turning 19 years old!
As we reflect on nearly two decades of creativity, passion (and hard work), we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey.
Firstly, a special thank you to our DV8 Design team for your continued dedication – it’s been an amazing journey together over all these years!
A thank you to our amazing clients who continue to put their trust in us, it’s always a privilege to bring your ideas to life. Our thanks also to our suppliers who ensure we constantly deliver outstanding results.
Reflecting on the last 12 months, we’ve accomplished so much, from having been appointed as the lead designer for aviation industry partners with global leaders in airport lounges across the UK and more recently in Europe. Our project portfolio also expanded with the exciting transformation of an underutilised area in Merseyside to create Salt and Tar – a vibrant community hub, foodies’ destination and a large event space.
We’re also thrilled to share that 2024 has been a year of recognition, with DV8 Designs being named a 2025 Top Interior Designer Firm by NEWH, and winning Best Hospitality & Commercial Designer at the prestigious 2024 Grafters Awards! 🏆
Another significant highlight from this year has been the expansion of our team, we’ve had the opportunity to bring on new talent, bringing unique skills and perspectives to the table.
Our Managing Director, Lee Birchall, commented ” It’s hard to believe that 19 years have passed so quickly! Looking back, it’s been a journey of growth, challenges, and achievements that have not only shaped the company but also played a vital role in making DV8 Designs what it is today.
“Our journey began with a vision to redefine spaces, and today DV8 is celebrated as trailblazer in the hospitality and commercial sectors, as well as for our transformative place-making projects.
“Fast forward to today, and our aspirations have become a reality. We’ve consistently pursued opportunities that challenge us, and it’s exciting to see those efforts paying off. One of my proudest career moments has been being appointed lead designer for aviation industry partners, working with global leaders in airport lounges across the UK and, more recently, Europe. Every step we’ve taken to reach this point reflects the hard work and dedication we’ve invested over the years.
“As we approach the 20-year milestone next year, I’m excited for what’s ahead. We’ve made great progress, but there’s still so much more to achieve! My thanks to my team who continue to support my vision and as I always say, life is a roller-coaster, and this year, we’ve can say we have definitely embraced the highs!”
To mark our 19th anniversary, we celebrated at Material Source, where we were kindly hosted by Crowns Paints and Newhey Carpets. It was a wonderful opportunity for our team to reflect on the incredible journey, celebrating our achievements and highlighting the success of each individual account. We could not be prouder of how far we’ve come. Afterwards, the team headed to Roxy’s Ballroom in Manchester for some fun-filled bonding with a friendly bowling competition!
We look forward to more achievements before our 20-year milestone next year! Here’s to the next chapter of innovation, design excellence, and transformative spaces!
