Allen International in top retail spot

We value the Design Week Big Picture series as a useful sector benchmark, and for highlighting to our clients our continued and growing strength.

In The Big Picture – Financial Services supplement, published earlier this year (DW 30 April), we were ranked first for high street interiors, and in the recent Big Picture – Retail (DW 18 June) it was satisfying to have moved up to fifth position in the Top 25 overall list of retail design groups.

We are pleased to clarify that Allen International generates some £2.25m of fee-income from work carried out “outside the UK for overseas or UK retailers” and, therefore, the international retail table in The Big Picture – Retail should have shown Allen International as number one.

About 83 per cent of our clients are based overseas. They include ABN Amro Bank, International SPAR, Philip Morris and Unilever.
