What &More Design Consultancy does

&More Design Consultancy is a privately held, Edinburgh-based design consultancy founded in 2021 by Angela Newton (Creative Director), Pawel Orszulak (Director of Architecture), and Derek Binnie. The firm provides workplace consultancy, space planning, interior design, architecture, move and change management, and FF&E (Furniture, Fittings & Equipment) consultancy services. It targets SME, Corporate, and Public Sector clients across Scotland and the wider United Kingdom, with a delivered project portfolio spanning finance, legal, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, technology, charity, and energy sectors — including anchor engagements such as a 67,000 sqft three-floor Virgin Money fit-out in Glasgow and a 20,000 sqft Ooni Pizza HQ fit-out.

The service offering is structured around a four-stage proprietary methodology — Explore (strategic planning), Envision (brief and concept design), Execute (detail design and project management), and Evaluate (post-completion review) — and is delivered through bespoke project teams assembled per client brief. The firm positions itself as design lead, collaborating with external contractors, property consultants, and co-design partners (notably MPact and Form DC on the Virgin Money flagship). Building Information Modelling (BIM) is used to enhance fit-out coordination and collaboration, as evidenced on the VMH Solicitors Cat A & Cat B project. Project scope ranges from ~2,600 sqft small-office relocations (Kaluza) to large multi-floor workplace fit-outs (Virgin Money, 67,000 sqft).

The business model is sales-led professional services with bespoke, quote-based project fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on direct client relationships, referrals, content marketing via the firm blog, and a sector-diversified project portfolio showcased online. The team is small (1-10 employees), including Senior Architect Magdalena Barnas-Orszulak and Senior Interior Designer Victoria Speirs alongside the three founders, who collectively bring over 20 years of prior workplace consultancy experience from a leading Edinburgh practice. &More is independently owned by its founders with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, subsidiaries, or parent company involvement.
