Ant Duckworth2025-02-11 Matt, Kayleigh and the team have been instrumental in bringing Dear Coco's coffee bar strategy to life. We needed an agency partner capable of lateral, innovative thinking with a can-do attitude and we found it in Copper & Ash. The quality of creative thinking, problem-solving and final output is second to none. Their project management is amongst best-in-class. The team's work has allowed us to secure flagship coffee industry and real estate partnerships, they're a critical growth partner for us. Thank you team, Ant & Sam @ Dear Coco Coffee Z B2024-09-17 Matt and the team were absolutely excellent from start to finish. This includes everything from communication, going through each stage to the final presentation. Overall, as a company we cant sing their praises enough! Bill Sunner2023-12-05 Been using copper and ash for 12 months now, i would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for design work. Matt and Kayleigh true professionals, nothing is to much to ask of them. They have a very good understanding of what the client needs. Jack Whittaker2023-10-02 I highly recommend Copper & Ash. Recently used the company for a full office renovation, they understood the brief and the use of space and the vision they had was extremely impressive. They then followed this up with fantastic customer service, and reaction to changes required offering flexibility throughout. All with a personal touch from the company owners. Spencer Turner2023-09-25 We are a fit out company and required the services of an interior design company specialising in commercial design. I contacted Matt and Kayleigh of Copper and Ash who right from the word go engaged with our client and delivered an amazing scheme. For us as a contractor we were given all of the exact specifications and detail required in order to provide an accurate quotation bearing in mind the clients budget. Both Matt and Kayleigh were in contact during the design process to run past me the use of different materials and design ideas they had to make sure they were feasible and cost effective without affecting their design. Once we were contracted to do the fit out they were always on hand to assist with any alterations to design mainly due to materials and always came back to me rapidly. The whole process has been a joy and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody looking for an up to date wow design delivered by professionals that think outside the box. I am a great believer in "you get what you pay for" and I think Copper and Ash are definitely value for money. David Frisby2023-08-17 We had a fantastic experience working with Copper and Ash on our new office location in Birmingham. Their project management skills were exceptional, and they showed great professionalism throughout the process. What impressed us the most was their dedication to understanding our brand, not just from an aesthetic standpoint but also in terms of our cultural values. They truly went the extra mile to create a space that reflected our brand identity and created a positive and inspiring work environment. Nathan Dawe2023-01-17 An absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I came with a vision and they took it to another level. The first design they showed me turned out to be the final design as it was so amazing! Kayleigh and Matt were fantastic throughout going above and beyond to achieve our opening date. Highly recommended. You get what you pay for!! Thank you guys Ashley A2022-12-01 Copper and Ash were fantastic from start to finish. They were enthusiastic about the project and came up with some great ideas. They kept me informed and up to date through every stage of the process. They were clear and responsive in communication. The people who perform the best are the ones that enjoy what they are doing, and it is clear that they love their craft. Kay Bonetti2022-01-08 The team at Copper and Ash have an intuition to come up with the perfect design, that until meeting them was just a figment of the imagination. Thank you for your care and attention to detail, and to actually listening - a rarity in business today
“Happyplace Design” goes beyond creating functional spaces—it’s about designing workplaces where people genuinely enjoy being. A well-designed office or co-working space can significantly impact employee morale, productivity, and overall satisfaction, leading to higher retention rates and a stronger company culture. At Copper & Ash, we blend our design expertise with a deep understanding of these factors, crafting workspaces that don’t just look good but actively contribute to a happy and motivated workforce.
Thoughtful workplace design directly influences productivity by catering to different work styles and needs. A productive workplace provides a balance of spaces: quiet areas for focused tasks, collaborative zones for team projects, and comfortable spots for breaks and informal meetings. We approach each project by considering these varied requirements, ensuring that your team has a workspace that supports their goals and keeps them engaged. This design approach ultimately contributes to both employee wellbeing and business success.
With remote and flexible work becoming more prevalent, hybrid workplace design has become essential for businesses aiming to attract and retain talent. Hybrid design creates adaptable environments that support both in-office work and remote collaboration. At Copper & Ash, we incorporate elements like flexible furniture, adaptable meeting areas, and tech solutions that make transitioning between tasks seamless. This design approach helps your team feel supported no matter where or how they work, fostering a sense of connection and flexibility.
Company culture is one of the most valuable aspects of a workplace, and it should be reflected in the physical space. We work closely with you to understand your values, brand, and team dynamics. Whether you want a vibrant, open-plan layout that encourages collaboration or quiet zones for focused work, we translate your culture into tangible elements—from layout and colours to furniture and lighting. Our goal is to create a space that resonates with your team, fosters connection, and aligns with your brand identity.
Sustainability is a core aspect of modern workplace design, and we approach it by carefully selecting materials and products that are durable, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced. We focus on designs that last, ensuring you’re investing in quality elements that won’t need frequent replacements. From recycled materials to energy-efficient lighting and low-VOC paints, we integrate sustainable practices to create workspaces that are both environmentally friendly and resilient, protecting both your budget and the planet.
Our process is structured to ensure a seamless journey from concept to completion, with flexibility to adapt to each client’s needs. In the Define phase, we work with you to understand your needs, company culture, and vision, building a solid foundation. In Design, we develop the concept, create 3D visuals, and collaborate on style choices. During Develop, we finalise technical details, tender documents, and construction requirements. Finally, in the Deliver phase, we oversee the installation, quality control, and final touches, ensuring your new workplace meets every expectation.
