3. Working with BBC Apprentice Winner Harpreet Kaur

Phoenix Wharf designed a hospitality concept for Harpreet Kaur, winner of this year’s BBC television series ‘The Apprentice’. The new project was funded by investment from the show’s host, Lord Sugar, who is also a partner in the business.

The design story also features on the cover of retail magazine A1’s December issue.

2. Judging this year’s FX Awards

Associate Creative Director Emma Carter was invited to be a judge at this year’s FX International Interior Design Awards. The awards celebrate world-class design excellence, judged by a panel of distinguished experts - from designers and architects, to engineers and clients. The black tie ceremony took place at Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

1. We became a #BCorp

B Corp Certification is awarded to businesses who are ‘leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.’

Our parent company, Istoria Group, along with all its constituent agencies, including Phoenix Wharf, became a B Corp this year.

The founding principles of B Corp – that business can be a force for good – is also what drives us.

So we’re feeling really proud about becoming a B Corp and we’re most excited about what comes next. And integrity and transparency will always remain at the heart of everything we do.

We believe that together, we can make a difference!⁠
