Interior design firm reports increase in revenue due to post-pandemic workspaces

York and Newcastle-based commercial interior design firm, Ben Johnson Interiors, has reported record growth in revenue for its recent year-end, with a 74 per cent lift in turnover versus pre-pandemic revenue.

Following a number of substantial client project wins with the likes of Shark Ninja, Firmenich, West Barn Co., Keepmoat Homes, Transdev and Circus PPC, the company has almost doubled annual revenue and is set for continued record growth this year.

Ben Johnson Interiors director, Emma Dodsley said, “we’ve been part of some brilliant projects over the past year and were fortunate to be consistently working on projects safely throughout the various restrictions, ensuring our clients had stunning new workspaces to return to that meet the ever-evolving needs of their employees post-pandemic.

“The way we all wish to work has changed fundamentally and some of our recent projects have been a testament to this, with more focus on collaborative workspaces that better facilitate hybrid-working and cater to varying working styles.

“We’ve also seen an increase in clients looking to give their workplaces a stylish overhaul with a ‘coffee shop’ aesthetic, which again is a concept rooted in the changing way we’re all working nowadays, post-COVID”, she continued.

The commercial interiors specialist has also increased headcount by 18 per cent and taken on a new 2000sqft York office, transformed by their own team.

The team are currently busy working on a range of projects, including appliance brand Shark Ninja’s upcoming new base at Battersea Power Station, along with multiple sites for Yorkshire-based transport company, Transdev.

Emma continues, “We’re seeing an influx of new enquiries from businesses looking to adapt their workspaces and it’s fantastic to be out and about again, meeting new and existing clients and visiting our exciting projects in progress!”
