It employs around 150–200 staff across studios in London, Bristol, Exeter, Manchester, Peterborough, Cambridge, Glasgow, and Oxford.[4][5]

The practice has won over 100 awards across areas such as urban regeneration,[6][7] public realm,[8][9][10] and public park design.[11][12] The firm is recognised within the UK landscape architecture profession for its scale of delivery and emphasis on integrating ecological, social, and economic outcomes.[13]
