Introduction by Robert Walker Founder & Managing Director Having established Alexander James in 1995 from my dining room table, and naming it after my (then) newly born son, it is with great pride and satisfaction that I have witnessed the company grow to become a team of over 75 interior designers and associates.

Our private client department delivers a seamless and highly personalised service whilst creating beautiful interiors for private individuals. Our goal is to help each client maximise the full potential of their home, introducing bespoke designs which are tailored to their individual requirements.

The Alexander James Group of Companies now provides interior and architectural design services to property developers, private clients and hotel groups around the world. This could not have been achieved without the hard work, creative passion and support of my loyal colleagues, many of whom are still with the business today.

The latest addition to our group, Alexander James International, was recently formed from a group of leading hotel interior and architectural designers who have worked with many of the world’s leading hotel groups across the globe. Some of our recent projects include the Marriott Renaissance Hotel in Kiev, and the Hilton and Crowne Plaza hotels in Bucharest.

Over the years we have been fortunate enough to work with some of the UK’s leading property developers providing award winning show home interiors and furnishing solutions. Our client base now extends to over 50 house builders including names such as Millgate Homes, Octagon Developments, Luxlo, Berkeley Homes, St.James, Royalton, Barratt Homes, Bellway and Crest Nicholson.

Alexander James has been featured by many publications and television programmes, including 25 Beautiful Homes, Location, Location, Location; Your Home, Showhome, Showhouse, The Mail on Sunday, The Sunday Times, Channel 4’s, From House to Home and Property Ladder. For me however, our biggest accolade was to be featured in the Andrew Martin Top 100 International Interior Designers Yearbook.
