“I first collaborated with Symm when I renovated a period property to create Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons in Oxfordshire with my husband Raymond Blanc, and I’ve worked with them ever since. At the heart of their business is a desire for quality craftsmanship and professional project managing, two very important aspects I believe are key for any number of the projects we take on. Symm know how to tackle both period and contemporary renovations with exacting detail. They are also a delight to work with, which is so important for everyone involved. The client’s needs are paramount, which says so much about how the company likes to work. Their work ethics mirror my philosophy as a designer completely.”
