New Chapter Sponsors
Fiona Mckay
The board is delighted to welcome two new sponsors to the AIA UK! They are Portview Fit-Out Ltd. and Iris Ceramica Group. They join our “family” of corporate partners that also includes Beale & Co, Herman Miller, Laufen, and Roca.
Portview is a Belfast based contractor that is very active in the London and UK markets. Founded in 1975, Portview expanded into the UK in the early 1990s. Leveraging their expertise with high end interiors and their growing retail client base, the decision was taken in 2004 to specialize exclusively in the fit-out market and rebrand the company as Portview Fit-Out.
Tottenham Stadium
Recent projects include work at the new stadium for Tottenham Hotspurs, and Harvey Nichols department store. Portview has experience in the office, residential, retail, hospitality, and heritage markets. They are currently working with our 2020 AIA UK President Chris Musangi, on a super-luxe, prime residential Spa & Health facility, at the Southbank Place development by the London Eye. Portview has won numerous industry awards for their work.
We welcome Paul Scullion, Amy Black and their colleagues at Portview to the AIA! www.portview.co.uk
Founded in Italy in 1961, Iris Ceramica Group has grown to be the world leader in the manufacture of floor and wall ceramics for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. The group has 26 manufacturing plants and employs over 3,000 people around the world.
Matrix Floor Tiles
With more than 50 collections totalling over 2,500 items, Iris Ceramica is constantly demonstrating their commitment to the creation of ceramics with high technical and stylistic value. This is characterized by the leading-edge design that has been recognized by their many international prizes and awards.
With their London showroom located on Old Street in Clerkenwell, Iris Ceramica is well placed to serve the UK market. They are also currently working with Portview and our 2020 AIA UK President Chris Musangi, on the same super-luxe, prime residential Spa & Health facility, at the Southbank Place development by the London Eye. We are pleased to welcome Marco Corradi, Martina Terracciano, Giacomo Bertoni and their colleagues to the AIA! www.irisceramicagroup.com
The chapter would not be able to organize such a large and varied programme of events for our members without the generous support of our sponsors. Please take the opportunity to introduce yourself to Paul and Giacomo and their colleagues at one of our upcoming events. They will enjoy hearing from you!
