TESTIMONIALS

Design Awards are an outstanding marker of time, trends, and talents. 

Lori Pinkerton-Rolet, Park Grove Design Ltd.

It is great to be recognised within the industry and gives a real boost to the team.

Karen Howes, Taylor Howes

Awards mean all the more when one respects the judges.

Adrian McCarroll, Original Vision

Really important: in a world clouded by PR hype the awards represent a real benchmark for the general public and for designers themselves.

Jeff Kahane, Jeff Kahane Associates

Awards can be a very important benchmark within the industry.

Joanna Wood

Awards are very important. It is also nice to have external recognition for something that you are proud of.

Wendy Perring , Perring Architecture & Design

Competitions highlight the work of some very talented designers who would otherwise struggle to find PR for many reasons. A competition
like yours gives us the opportunity to see who we can set the benchmark against, who's up and coming and what else is happening in the
design field in our own back yard.

Rene Dekker, Head of Residential Interiors SHH

Awards are an effective way of getting noticed and of finding out about new designers, projects and ideas, good for the designer and
for design business in general.

Carolyn Trevor

I think awards are very important for designers as it acknowledges the level of skill & hard work that goes into a project.

Susan Quirke, Quirke McNamara Consultancy

I think that awards are very important and as in every profession it’s always nice to be recognised for what we do.

Niky Dobree

Awards are very important – it’s not often that we are recognised publicly for the work we do and the endorsement of a prestigious award
can give a real boost to a company.

Katherine Pooley 

I think awards are key to bringing recognition to a company’s work, giving credibility within the industry and highlighting specialist skill
to future clients.

John Beven, Wilkinson Beven Design Ltd.

Can’t be disingenuous on this one. We love to win! It’s a great feeling as well as a great boost to internal morale and a reward for everyone
involved in the team, including other consultants and suppliers – and of course the client.

David Spence, Chairman SHH

Its always good to be recognised for hard work and we need to give clients confidence in the industry as a whole.

Carolyn Parker, Carolyn Parker Interior Design

Awards are very important! There's nothing like a competitive spirit to shake up designers!

Michael Reeves, Michael Reeves Associates

All designers crave recognition, especially from their piers and by entering awards and winning them it is a way to show people how
creative you are and the visions that you have.

Gary Shaw, apropos

Design awards are an excellent opportunity to showcase and give credit to those producers of good design and who keep setting high
standards. Unless it is constantly challenged design can stagnate and then there is the danger of repetition.
