Nicholas Belfield becomes Partner of dpa’s London Studio

The Partners of dpa lighting consultants are delighted to announce that Nicholas Belfield, who has been with the Practice since 2006 has become a Partner.  “Nicholas has been an integral part of the Practice’s success, leading numerous projects throughout the world from concept to completion during his time with us. His appointment as Partner reflects the tremendous asset Nicholas is to the Practice and his passion and commitment to lighting design generally. Derek Phillips founded dpa in 1958 and from that time the Practice has striven to develop designers internally; many of our senior team members have been with the Practice for a very long time, starting as inexperienced designers and now leading the business which is something we are very proud of.  Nicholas further illustrates the successful approach we have of developing leaders from within.”  Gary Campbell, Partner & Nick Hoggett, Partner – dpa lighting consultants

Nicholas has worked on a wide variety of prestigious global projects over the years which include:

Mandarin Oriental, Knightsbridge, London
