Phil Dolman


London based designer with a pedigree in creative interiors, specifically branded environment. With a holistic approach across the creative process from strategic analysis and conceptual thinking through to detailed planning and delivery.


Following studying Interior Design and Architecture at Middlesex Polytechnic and the RCA, where he honed his open approach to design, he developed his practice at Din Associates. Here he was involved in many of the studio’s iconic projects for retail brands such as Next, French Connection and Selfridges on the UK high street and for International clients in Europe and the Far East.

He also gained extensive design and strategic experience in the commercial, exhibition, transport and leisure sectors, many receiving international design accolades such as BAA Terminal 5.


He is as at home with the commerciality of High Street fast fashion, the refined luxury of Bond Street or elbow deep in cardboard for a Pop-up. Always seeking to push the boundaries of an idea whilst keeping it with in the reality of the client’s brief, budget and practicality.

Lesley Batchelor


With 30 years experience delivering intelligent, innovative, beautifully detailed design, which are commercially successful and relevant beyond the zeitgeist, always appropriate to the client’s brief, budget and timescale.


Graduating in interior design from Middlesex University in 1984, I spent 20 years designing for the critically acclaimed design and branding agency, Din Associates. Here she lead many of the agency’s award wining retail, commercial and residential projects in the UK and worldwide for names such as  Next, Nicole Farhi, French Connection, George at Asda, Dr Martens, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Beymen, as well exhibition design for the V&A and D&AD.


This diverse experience and expertise allows her to see the big picture whilst caring for the details that ensure successful professional delivery of projects from inception to creation, resulting in many long and rewarding client relationships.


Never prescriptive, she has the same open-minded approach to all projects from the elegant contemporary luxury of Fenwick Bond Street to the clever simplicity of the first George at Asda.
