Leadership & Specialist Team

The team behind the execution.

Blending decades of chartered construction mastery, Building Safety Regulator compliance, and tech-driven contractor management with authentic design studio literacy.

Founding Ethos
"We started Carter & Whitmore to bridge the gap between creative interior architecture and rigorous site execution. Every member of our team brings specialized acumen—from listed heritage compliance to design studio partnerships."

Founded by Pierre Whitmore and George Carter, our leadership structure unites 25+ years of prime UK construction with modern operations, giving interior designers an execution department they can trust implicitly.
