BELFAST fit-out firm Portview is celebrating its fourth consecutive win at the annual RetailWeek Interiors Awards.

The market-leading specialist won first prize for Best Fashion Retail Interior for its work on the Harvey Nichols’ flagship store in Knightsbridge, London

In collaboration with designers Virgile and Partners, Portview was praised for its creative approach to the fit-out. Stepping outside the realms of tradition, the new interior features the concept of ‘controlled disruption’, where luxury fabrics are juxtaposed with more unconventional materials such as 5,200 egg cups, pebble dash, 3D stained plywood, brick slips and slate roofing tiles.

On the same evening, Portview also received a silver accolade for ‘Best Business Serving Football’ during the Football Business Awards, in recognition of their positive contribution to the stadia sector.

Portview Fit-Out managing director, Simon Campbell said he was "honoured" to be recognised again.

“I would like to thank our staff and clients for their continued support over the years and look forward to achieving even more award-winning projects in the future.”
