When the job calls for rooftop installations, Neil Clark, John Moores, Kai Parry, Harry Simpkin and Lee Slater go above and beyond 🏗️ Ductwork is making its way up as we crane equipment onto the roof for a major UK airline’s new staff hub, taking the project to the next level, one lift at a time! Swipe to see the cranes in action and how we’re elevating this project to new heights ✈️ #RaisingTheRoof #CraneWork #BehindTheScenes

From visual to reality! We’re excited to showcase one of our latest installations, a coffee counter with stunning views of the iconic London skyline 🏙️ Our team tackled the challenge of a large central island that made queueing difficult. By introducing a new counter set against a breath-taking backdrop and using a light colour palette, we’ve created an open and inviting environment that's easy to navigate. We increased capacity to meet demand and improved the layout, ensuring better functionality and a smoother service flow. It’s all about making things work better, both functionally and visually! #InteriorDesign #CoffeeCounter #LondonSkyline #HospitalityDesign #ProjectShowcase #CustomerExperience #CafeDesign

The chefs have truly smashed it with this one 🤌🏽 #CafeDesign #RestaurantDesign #ProjectShowcase #HighStreetQuality #Catering #Counters

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Andrew Fordyce, Chairman and founding member of ifse Group. Andrew passed away peacefully on 10th January 2025, leaving behind an incredible legacy of leadership, innovation, and dedication to the hospitality design industry. From his early days in hospitality management to creating ifse in 1991 with Ron Hodge and Bill Moore, Andrew’s career was defined by his creativity and passion. He brought his vision to life, designing iconic spaces for renowned brands like Williams F1, Kew Gardens, and Sony. As a leader, Andrew was not only a pioneer of ideas, but also a champion for his team, guiding ifse’s transition into an Employee-Owned Trust in 2022, a first in the industry.
