About the practice

At Frank Shaw, we’re experts in everything from master planning and architecture to interior design and sustainability consultancy. Our 50+ years of experience cover education, advanced manufacturing, industrial and logistics, residential, defence, workplace, health, blue light, commercial work and more. We’re problem solvers who thrive on addressing complex spatial, technical and construction challenges, designing and delivering spaces that create real change for the people who use them. The right spaces can change behaviours, making it easier to teach, learn and transform life chances. We can make complex manufacturing processes smooth and help people and businesses flourish. We can bring hope and opportunities to an area, enabling training, creating jobs, and strengthening communities. This is the type of work we thrive on at Frank Shaw. Our teams include experts in architecture, masterplanning, interior design, sustainability, digital and more, but every single one of us is also a pragmatic problem-solver – adaptable, curious and innovative. Since Frank Shaw was founded in Chesterfield more than 50 years ago, we’ve been thinking and designing commercially, moving with the industry as it shifts and changes, and delivering beyond our clients’ expectations again and again. Today, we’re an Employee Ownership Trust with offices in Chesterfield and Leeds, continually seeking to add value, explore emerging technologies and lead the industry as it moves forward.
