Dodds & Shute

Dodds & Shute is a British furniture procurement and consultancy company based in London, founded in 2015 by Stefan Dodds and Nick Shute. It describes itself as a specialist in design-led, responsibly sourced furniture, bridging the gap between design ambition, sustainable integrity and real-world delivery. The company works across the commercial (workplace), hospitality and residential sectors, and positions itself as more than a procurement partner — an extension of the client's team, bringing clarity, consistency and care to projects regardless of scale. The firm's service range covers design support, sourcing, project management, delivery and installation, and sustainability consultancy. Its procurement process typically begins with a briefing and kick-off meeting, followed by design consultancy (including selection of innovative, sustainable materials and review of the preferred supply chain), cost consultancy with comprehensive budget forecasts, and then sourcing, project management and installation. Clients benefit from using Dodds & Shute as a single point of procurement while gaining access to the wider design market and wholesale discounts. Sustainability is central to the brand. Dodds & Shute states that it is a certified B Corp with ISO 14001 certification, and that it has audited over 200 furniture manufacturers, giving clients confidence that the brands it works with are truly sustainable. It also runs an academy programme that champions emerging talent and individuals from diverse backgrounds, providing access to scholarships and hands-on internships. The company has worked on projects for clients and developments including Carbone Restaurant, Triton Square (British Land), 1 Broadgate (British Land), MYO Kings Cross (Landsec) and Elder Yard (British Land). Its stated mission is to propel the industry to a sustainable and responsible future while providing an unrivalled level of expertise and customer service — to make the design sector "beautiful, both inside and out."

Dodds & Shute was founded in 2015 by Stefan Dodds and Nick Shute with what the company describes as a simple goal: to make design more beautiful, responsible and connected. What began as a vision to do things differently grew into a multi-sector practice working across workplace, hospitality and residential projects. From its base in London, the company built its business around furniture procurement and consultancy for the built environment, specialising in FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment). Rather than acting as a conventional procurement intermediary, Dodds & Shute positioned itself as an extension of the client's team, offering tailored procurement, cost planning and design consultancy, and aiming to deliver design-led projects on time, on budget and with a focus on sustainability. Over time the firm developed a sustainability-led identity. It states that it is a certified B Corp with ISO 14001 certification, and that it has audited over 200 furniture manufacturers, allowing it to assure clients that the brands it works with are truly sustainable. It also established an academy programme to champion emerging talent and individuals from diverse backgrounds, providing access to scholarships and hands-on internships. The company's project portfolio spans commercial, hospitality and residential work, with named projects including Carbone Restaurant, Triton Square for British Land, 1 Broadgate for British Land, MYO Kings Cross for Landsec and Elder Yard for British Land. Its stated goal remains the same as in 2015: to change the world of FF&E for the better, working with clients who share its commitment to responsibility, creativity and quality.
