Where we work
We work worldwide.
Which is why we understand the importance of understanding different cultures, and finding shared visions. We create experiences in which the world meets.
Our head office in Leicester, UK coordinates all work undertaken through our satellite offices in North America, Southern Africa and the Middle East. With individual Directors responsible for a different global sector, we are able to provide a focused response to the requirements of any project. Over the years, we have developed a good understanding of regional and country-specific contexts. And built up networks of locally based specialists and suppliers.
All this experience enables us to offer a seamless, high-quality and culturally sensitive service. Anywhere in the world.

In Europe, our high-profile work includes the Netherlands' National Museum of Antiquities and Scheepvaart Maritime Museum.
In addition to the full range of interpretation and design services, we offer a wealth of knowledge and expertise covering HLF and other grant application strategy, learning opportunities, feasibility studies, business planning and operational management planning. We offer a holistic vision sensitive to the needs of both diverse audiences and managers alike.
Our frequent collaborations with architectural, engineering and project management teams allow us to champion current interpretation trends from the early stages of projects.
