Portview To Fit-Out London Department Store

Portview, based in Belfast, has won a £10m order to fit-out the interior of a luxury department store in London's plush West End.

Work on the high-end fit-out, the details of which cannot be identified because of client confidentiality, got underway last week and will run for 8 months.

Confirmation of the contract comes as the firm celebrates a 30% increase in annual turnover which has risen from £23m to £30m in 2013.

"It has been an outstanding year for Portview," Managing Director, Simon Campbell, said. "As well as seeing strong financial growth in the past year we have completed a number of important strategic initiatives that we believe will strengthen us overall as a business."

According to Simon Campbell Portview's strong performance can be attributed to a number of key factors.

"Amongst the most significant elements in our growth is the fact our reputation as a highly capable, innovative and well managed business is really growing within the high-end retail sector. One example of how this has worked in practice came when we were awarded a major project in New York to fit-out Oscar de la Renta's flagship store in Madison Avenue. This came as a result of the client being impressed with our performance in fitting out its store in Mayfair, London.

"Clients like our approach with involved owner-managers and smart, flexible, empowered teams who display a genuine can-do attitude at all times. When they hire us they know they will get specialist, high-quality support from a team who are interested in building long-term partnerships."

Within the last 12 months Portview has delivered a number of high profile fit-out schemes, many of which have been in London at locations which include The Montreux Jazz Café in Knightsbridge, Debenhams in Clapham and The Whisky Shop in Piccadilly.
