# The 50 largest Design Services companies in the United Kingdom

Tamtam tracks 175 Design Services companies headquartered in the United Kingdom. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Arup, Brand Management Agency and GP. Their median headcount is 532. Half of them were founded in 1996 or later. The most common headquarters are London (36), Manchester (3) and Liverpool (2).

The Design Services companies in the United Kingdom listed here are primarily large firms, many of them based in London. They offer a wide range of services, from global engineering and design consultancies to specialized branding and digital interface design. Arup, for example, is a global collective focused on sustainable development, while GP specializes in medical website design. Event is a global experience design agency, and Royal College of Art is a postgraduate university for art and design.

Most of these companies, such as Household, founded in 2004, and MOO, established in 2006, are relatively young, indicating a growing and evolving sector. A notable pattern is the strong concentration of headquarters in London, with a few companies like BDP in Manchester and BakerHicks in Warwick diversifying the geographical spread.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
