A flexible training space for UK Debt Expert
Following the refurbishment of Carrington Dean’s upstairs offices, we returned to the building to create a dedicated training environment for UK Debt Expert. The brief was to carry a consistent Credit fix Group identity throughout the building while giving UK Debt Expert a space with its own distinct purpose and character.
Designed to help new team members become familiar with the brand, culture and ways of working, the finished space supports induction, e-learning and collaborative training. Also for this floor, there was chosen for an angled desk layout. Flexible tables, dedicated workstations, and mobile presentation facilities allow the layout to adapt to different learning formats, while a tiered breakout area provides a more informal setting for presentations and group discussions.
The design builds on the visual language established in the Carrington Dean office upstairs. Both spaces draw from the wider brand palette, but colour was used intentionally to distinguish their different functions. While the Carrington Dean office combines blue, green and purple, the UK Debt Expert training suite replaces purple with yellow to promote optimism, creativity, and mental stimulation, making it particularly valuable in spaces where innovative thinking and collaborative ideation are priorities.
Green was retained as a balanced, calming influence. Its connection to nature can help reduce anxiety and visual fatigue, making it particularly suited to an environment where employees may spend extended periods learning and working. Blue also continues through the scheme as a productivity-enhancing colour, helping to create a calm atmosphere that supports concentration, clear communication and efficient working.
These colours are expressed through the flooring, furniture, and bespoke wall graphics with cleverly integrated acoustics. Open shelving with integrated storage and planting creates subtle separation between activities without compromising light or visibility, while natural timber finishes bring warmth to the space.
The result is a welcoming, multipurpose learning environment that feels connected to the wider Creditfix workplace while remaining clearly tailored to UK Debt Expert. It gives new employees an engaging place to learn, collaborate and build confidence as they settle into their roles.

A new training centre in Edinburgh for Chinese Christians
CITC – Christian International Theological College, approached Amos Beech after securing two empty retail units in Leith, Edinburgh. They wanted to create a multi-purpose environment between the two spaces – one for learning, comprising of a training centre, meeting space and staff welfare; the second unit was to house a tea corner serving hot drinks, a library and an office.
The training area design was based around utilising flexible furniture. Mobile, folding tables and high-density stacking chairs were proposed to get the most out of this space.
As the concept developed the meeting space became more informal with floor cushions and a window seat. This space would be used for children to gather and learn.
Graphics played an important part of this design, and the client had ideas to display original calligraphy, a timeline of the brand and signage in both English and Chinese. The palette was very calming and focused on the teal branding colours along with oak timber to add warmth. A backlit stained-glass design was created by the client’s own artist. This became a feature at the front of the training room.
The tea corner and library have an exposed ceiling with acoustic rafts to absorb any noise. Feature lighting and replica plants enhance the aesthetic in this space. The end result is a warm and welcoming space which is ideally suited to the client’s requirements.

A vibrant and flexible workspace for AskBio
AskBio is focused on the goal to successfully treat genetic diseases. Amos Beech partnered with AskBio to design and furnish their new Edinburgh office, located within the renowned Roslin Institute, part of the University of Edinburgh. The goal was to create a vibrant, flexible workspace that supports collaboration, focus and wellbeing for their growing team.
Our design team delivered a complete interior solution; from space planning to final installation, integrating a mix of new furniture systems, ergonomic solutions and acoustic enhancements tailored to the needs of a high-performing research environment.
This project also highlights our capability in delivering complex projects for international clients. Working with US-based decision makers, we provided our fully managed, end-to-end methodology — from concept design and procurement to installation and handover. With project stakeholders a long-haul flight away, clear communication, detailed planning, and strong local delivery were key to success. Our proven ability to manage global clients remotely ensures that projects run smoothly, on time, and to the highest standard, no matter the distance.
Key elements of the project included:
4-person meeting pod from Boss Design providing a private, enclosed space for focused discussions.
Height-adjustable sit-stand desks and ergonomic task chairs promoting comfort, support and movement throughout the day.
Collaboration zones with flexible furniture that encourages teamwork and spontaneous interaction. We used Icons of Denmark’s new Blox product to create a modular space divide with acoustic properties.
A refreshed canteen area designed as a social hub for the team to relax and connect.
Personal storage lockers to support agile working and maintain a clean, organised workspace.
To address the open nature of the space, we implemented a range of acoustic solutions; including feature acoustic walls and bespoke acoustic trees, significantly reducing noise levels and enhancing the overall workplace experience.
The result is a balanced environment that reflects AskBio’s innovative culture: functional, welcoming, and designed to help people do their best work:
