DSP secures repeat business with global consulting firm.

DSP secures repeat business with global consulting firm. Mar 23, 2026 Interior fit-out specialist DSP (Interiors) Ltd has completed a second high-impact refurbishment for global consulting and engineering firm RPS, transforming its Sheffield office into a brighter, more collaborative workplace. Following the successful overhaul of RPS's Derby base, DSP was invited back to reimagine the Sheffield site - a vote of confidence in the strength of the partnership and the quality of delivery. The refurbishment focused on creating vibrant, functional spaces where staff can relax, collaborate and work more effectively. Walls were opened up to create a new staff lounge and breakout area, kitchen facilities were upgraded with a bespoke breakfast bar, and smart storage solutions were introduced to support day-to-day operations. The reception area was also completely refreshed, featuring new flooring, statement lighting and an acoustic ceiling raft to create a bold first impression for visitors. New furniture pieces and upgraded electrical systems were installed, ensuring the office is future-ready as well as fit for purpose. The result is a brighter, more welcoming workplace tailored to RPS's operations that supporting collaboration, wellbeing and day-to-day efficiency. RPS Group, now part of Tetra Tech, operates in more than 100 countries with 25,000 associates across 500 offices worldwide. Debra Swift, Office Manager at RPS, said: "We were thrilled to be working with the DSP team again on this project. They did a great job at our Derby branch, and we wanted the same high standard for our Sheffield site. "The new staff lounge and breakout areas have been well received by the team, and the whole project was delivered smoothly with minimal disruption to day-to-day working. A big thank you to Aaron, Ian and the whole DSP team." This latest project further cements DSP's reputation for delivering bespoke, high-spec commercial interiors that support business growth, brand integrity, and operational excellence. Louisa Priestley, Managing Director of DSP (Interiors) Ltd said: "It's been a real pleasure to work with RPS again. Returning clients allow us to build on an existing understanding and deliver spaces that genuinely work for their teams because we already understand their culture and operations. "That insight enables us to move quickly, minimise disruption and create environments that make a real difference day to day. We're delighted with how the Sheffield refurbishment has come together and hope the team enjoy the new space."
