A team dedicated to small to medium enterprises

Jonathan Dawes, Head of SME Culture, Design

Jonathan Dawes joined Peldon Rose in 2012 to head up a team dedicated to design and build for small to medium enterprises. In his latest feature JD explains Peldon Rose’s unique approach to the intricate needs of SME’s.

We understand the intricate requirements of small to medium-sized businesses

Our dedicated SME team was founded to provide small to medium enterprises (SME’s) with a highly bespoke interior design, with the same level of attention to detail as larger enterprise projects. We have harnessed 35 years of knowledge and experience, to provide a high-quality and personable experience for clients occupying up to 6,000 sq ft.

We understand this can be the first time some businesses have approached a workspace fit out - taking on your own first tenancy can be daunting. Our 360-life cycle approach doesn’t just look at the physical building or space, but the people, beliefs and cultures that drive a business’s success.

A side-by-side relationship from start to finish

We understand the fit out process from conception through to project completion. Our clients have a dedicated project director throughout the project lifecycle, partnering from pitch to pre-construction, liaising with landlords and the license to alter (LTA) process, creating a single point of contact all the way through to project completion.

Creating a destination workspace within your budget

Each project has a personal interior designer who works on the design concept and development, complete with technical construction knowledge to create a boutique workspace.

Typical SME clients vary, everything from startups to well established businesses - what remains consistent is the desire to create a destination office - working within the client’s budget. Our passion for design delivers desired results, and the day-to-day relationship we build supports our client’s stakeholder management and investment. We always go the extra mile.
