About us
We are in the business of 'story-telling' - approaching every project by knowing the people who will be using the places we help create and how we can talk to them, attract, inform, surprise and delight them along their journey. Put simply, we design brands and places for people. And making sure it's always an exciting, immersive, multi-sensory journey through the very essence of your brand, is a collective of highly creative and strategically-minded individuals. In November 2015, Portland joined global architecture and design firm Perkins+Will. With 24 offices and 1,800 professionals worldwide, Perkins+Will creates thoughtful, beautiful, purposefully designed places for people to live, learn, work, travel, play, and heal. The firm’s focus on research, innovation, and sustainability led to its 2015 distinction as one of “The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Architecture” by Fast Company, and as the No. 5 leading architecture and design firm in the U.S. by ARCHITECT Magazine.

Nestlé And Sustainability: Leading The Industry From The Front Our last story on Travel Retail Touchdowns this week features Nestlé International Travel Retail (NITR) and the steps that this business has taken to pioneer sustainable actions across its wide portfolio of products. NITR leads the industry by example in so many ways. There have been many challenges on the way - not least because of the sheer scale of the world's largest food business, but its geographical spread, too. Peter Marshall visited the company's headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland, earlier this week and sat down with Frédéric Porchet, stephane detaille and AURA SANCHEZ FARRERA to learn more about Nestlé's journey to success and the sustainable brand that is now taking the industry by storm. https://lnkd.in/eKNxxfxn #Sustainability #Confectionery #NestléCocoaPlan #GoodForYouGoodForThePlanet #GenZ #KITKAT #BreaksForGood #SustainablySourcedCocoa #DoesGoodTastesGreat #Smarties #QualityStreet #IAmPaper #PaperPackaging #RainforestAlliance #InternationalCocoaInitiative #IncomeAcceleratorProgramme #NestléSustainablySourcedCocoa #VERSE #TravelRetail

Champagne Telmont: Leading The Way For The Industry In Sustainability Our third success story this week is quite exceptional. It features Champagne Telmont, an extraordinary and game-changing company over 100 years old whose raison d'etre has been sustainability for many years now. They have just launched the organic Reserve de la Terre to the Travel Retail business community - a product that genuinely gives sustainability a new meaning in the category and to the wider business. 'In the name of mother nature' lies at the heart of everything that Champagne Telmont produces. Peter Marshall visited the company earlier this year, when his journey took him to the centre of champagne in Damery, France. https://lnkd.in/e2Fpij7e #ReserveDeLaTerre #Organic #InTheNameOfMotherNature #Sustainability #LudovicDuPlessis #JustinMeade #BertrandLhopital #TravelRetail #Damery #WinesAndSpirits #RemyCointreau

Really looking forward to speaking at the Worktech conference in Stockholm on Tuesday 8 October 2024. I will be exploring the changes we have been experiencing in the consumer and retail landscape, and how they mirror those we are currently experiencing in workplace. I will be exploring themes and challenges that are common to both retail and workplace - 'activist audiences', 'brands as community', 'from function to experience', 'promiscuous consumer', 'walking paradoxes', 'the demand for both fast and slow experiences', 'values driven preferences', 'The 10 traits of GenZ' 'The 6-E's of Experience' and the '5-C's of placemaking' Mark Bourgeois Joanna Pease Alison Auvray Linzi Cassels Nicola Gillen https://lnkd.in/eBi25FUb

Keflavik Airport, Iceland: Where Local Focus Equals Retail Reimagined Hello and welcome back to our second video of Travel Retail Touchdowns, produced by TRunblocked.com and Portland. This feature covers Isavia's story at Keflavík Airport (KEF) in Iceland. And it's not a normal story, because here the airport's travel retail and food and beverage offer does not feature the usual suspects at all. Yes, of course it includes all the major categories, but what stands out at this airport - that serves some 8 million passengers annually - is just how strong the local focus is. That has been core to the airport's success. Lewis Allen travelled to Iceland to interview Gunnhildur Erla Vilbergsdóttir, Commercial Manager, Retail and Food and Beverages. https://lnkd.in/eab6_msM #TravelRetail #Airports #Innovation #CommercialRetail #FoodandBeverages #LocalInfluence #Collaboration

Hello and welcome to Travel Retail Touchdowns. This is the first of a series of videos produced by Portland and TRunblocked.com covering key subject areas - the reimagining of Travel Retail in store, how sustainability now matters and the advancement of usable tech. We highlighted these topics because they are of real and increasing importance to the industry as it faces the challenge of increasingly discerning travellers who are turning away from Travel Retail. So what we are prioritising in these videos are success stories that are real and where, hopefully, many learnings can be found for the industry as whole. We start with a subject that is core to us all, or at least should be: data. As a business we are not well known for making the best use of data or for sharing it. We have always been behind the domestic market. But this has changed with Pi Insight and their ShelfTrak tool which has radically changed how this business can collaborate and, in the last 18 months, has effectively become the Travel Retail industry's equivalent of Nielsen. Peter Marshall, Founder of TRunblocked.com, visited York recently to speak to the two principals of the company, Steve Hillam and Garry Stasiulevicuis. https://lnkd.in/eTAapCk2 #TravelRetail #AirportCommercialRetail #DataManagement #ShelfPlanning #ImprovedIndustryCollaboration #ShelfTrak

🎥🛍 Watch the highlights from the first of our Future of Retail and Placemaking Conference events, which brought together leaders from across the retail sector and built environment to discuss 'human centric' placemaking. Hosted by Helena Davies, Iain Gamble and Krista Powell alongside our friends at Portland Design on 11 September in our Manchester Office, the event featured a thought-provoking keynote speech from Ibrahim Ibrahim and two panel sessions expertly hosted by Andrea Carpenter. For our high streets and town centres to thrive socially and commercially, we must start with people. Understanding people’s lives and expectations and engaging with them is critical to delivering effective regeneration projects and spaces that are fit for purpose and can continue to evolve over time. Some key thoughts from our Manchester event included: 🔸 Should we be considering ‘place-growing’ or ‘place-curating’, rather than ‘placemaking’? Let’s build on and adapt what we already have, putting the views of the local community at the forefront of what we do. 🔸 We need to create more immersive experiential retail opportunities with a focus on the overall experience, rather than the purchase alone. 🔸 The relationship between people and brands has changed. Consumers are looking to ‘join’ brands rather than simply ‘buy’ them. 👏 A huge thank you to Ibrahim, Andrea and all our panellists — Andrew Bentley BEM (PlaceCulture), Pete Swift (Planit), Frances Jones (Stockport Mayoral Development Corporation), Chris Bowen (Torus Developments), Simon Layton (Trafford Centre), Rob Deacon (Grosvenor) and Thom Hetherington (Landing Light). ➡ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gJnVEvUB 🎥 Watch on Vimeo: https://lnkd.in/gWWENuBE 👉 Discover our services for retail: https://lnkd.in/edAJAdBH
