Wayne Acourt qualified in Interior Design at Kingston University in 1979. He then worked for a number of commercial architectural practices, gaining experience in projects ranging in size from Heathrow's Terminal 3 refurbishment and new build work in the City of London, to Listed Building refurbishment work in Richmond.

Switching to design practices that focussed on end-user fit-outs in 1987, Wayne learnt the value and professional reward of dealing with demanding clients on repeat projects.

After five years working in his own practice Wayne was approached to head up the Bristol design studio of a large London practice. Management skills learnt in that environment have been valuable additions to the design skills learnt over the previous 20 years.

Wayne has had the benefit and experience for working with some large household names in the commercial world, and has enjoyed working on projects ranging in variety and value. But for Wayne the real 'buzz' comes from the opportunity to create something different and to exceed the Client's expectations whatever the size of project.
