(UK) – Nicholas Belfield has become a Partner at dpa lighting consultants’ London office, the company has announced.

Having been with the practice since 2006, Belfield has worked on a wide variety of prestigious projects around the world, including the Mandarin Oriental, London; Four Seasons, Bahrain; Cap Vermell, Grand Hotel, Mallorca; and Royal Clock Tower, Makkah.

“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 he is to the practice and his passion and commitment to lighting design generally,” said Gary Campbell and Nick Hoggett, Partners at dpa lighting consultants.

“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 us 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.”

Belfield added: “It is a proud moment and great honour to have the opportunity to become a partner at dpa lighting consultants. During my time at dpa, I have had the pleasure to work on many exciting projects around the world with fabulous clients and world class teams. dpa has an unparalleled history within the lighting consultant industry and I look forward to being part of the team driving that success into the future.”
