Ttsp-fookes created in merger

Interior design and architecture groups The Thomas Saunders Partnership and the Fookes Partnership have agreed to merge, forming a new consultancy under the name Ttsp-fookes.

Under the deal, both groups will operate from The Thomas Saunders Partnerships’ offices in London’s Farringdon.

A spokeswoman for the new group says no money will change hands in the deal.

The merger represents an opportunity to combine both interests and design expertise, as both consultancies are planning to take on larger and more complicated projects in the future, she says.
