This design and fit-out business uses virtual reality to show clients what their new offices could look like. Originally founded as a furniture dealership by Mark Bessant, 57, Curve in its current form was born when managing director Michael Potter, 44, and Andy Wilkinson, 52, joined in 2016. The company handles the entire office fit-out process, from finding the right designer to conducting the installation and sourcing the furniture. Previous clients include Merlin Entertainments, BNP Paribas and the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, for which Curve refurbished 10,000 sq ft of office space to provide a new council meeting chamber and other facilities. Sales climbed to £9.2m this year.
