Warrington based interior design and architecture firm DV8 Designs has been shortlisted for a trio of categories in the Grafters Awards 2017.

Headed by Managing Director Lee Birchall, the firm has been named finalists in three categories; Commercial Interior Designer, Hospitality Interior & Design and Commercial Design.

Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony held at Mercure Manchester Piccadilly on Thursday, May 18.

Lee said: “To be nominated in not one but three award categories after wowing construction industry critics is an extremely proud moment for the team and I. The past 12 months have been a whirlwind of excitement having worked on such a varied portfolio of projects, reached our 11-years business milestone and expanded our team.

“With that in mind, it is a real honour to receive recognition for our collective efforts in delivering design excellence and to be inundated with support from the construction community.”

DV8 Designs portfolio includes residential projects, bars, pubs, restaurants, hotels, leisure centres, swimming pools, spas, golf clubs and offices.

Recent projects include The Stanneylands, Wilmslow; The Hesketh, Cheadle Hulme; YKK (U.K), Runcorn and Castle St Townhouse, Liverpool to name a few.

Lee added: “To have been selected from such a high volume and calibre of industry professionals is an achievement in itself. If we were to win at the Grafters Awards, this would certainly be the icing on the cake to an extremely exciting year in business. A sincere good luck goes to everyone who’s up for nomination.”
