The commercial interiors industry tells us that everyone's searching for that top-rated supplier who never exceeds a deadline or blows a budget and so, often, they return to the same numbers that they trust to get the job done well, and quickly. That's why each month we feature a handful of trusted companies in the 'Suppliers You Should Know' section of the magazine, with all the information you need to get in touch, plus a profi le on why we rate them and what their specialism is. From that, every year we round up a selection from the last 12 months to hopefully expand your contact list or reaffi rm your life choices that your favourite is peer-approved. Our 'little black book' for interior designers and fi t-out fi rms contains expert contacts for bathrooms, kitchens, lighting, residential projects and more, so the best person for the job is just a short scroll away.
