Every completed space carries the work of many people. Long before the doors open, there are plans to review, details to resolve, materials to coordinate and challenges to manage on site. This is the work that has shaped Westbrook Interiors over the past 18 years.
Westbrook has once again been featured in Design Middle East’s Top Fit Out Powerlist 2026, placing the company among the leading firms in the region’s fit out industry. Over the years, the company has completed more than 1,500 projects covering over two million square feet. Each one has brought new people, requirements and lessons. Together, they have helped Westbrook develop a way of working that connects design, technical knowledge and site delivery from the beginning.
The People Leading Westbrook
The Design Middle East article places Westbrook’s leadership at the centre of the company’s story. Renju Mohammed, Managing Director, and Naresh Krishnaswamy, Managing Partner, reflect on 18 years of working within the UAE’s changing fit out industry.
They speak about how clients now expect more than project execution.
They look for a partner who understands the wider purpose of the space, contributes from the early stages and brings value throughout the process. In the article, Renju and Naresh share their perspective on the key areas shaping Westbrook’s work and the wider fit out industry:
1. Adapting to the market
Stronger planning, early risk management and trusted supplier relationships help the team respond to rising costs, supply challenges and changing timelines.
2. Finding better solutions
Early collaboration and technical knowledge support decisions that address current project needs while preparing spaces for future change.
3. Building what comes next
The focus extends beyond completing an interior to creating workplaces that support businesses, connect people and continue to provide value after handover.
What We Carry Forward
Being part of Design Middle East’s Top Fit Out Powerlist brings a meaningful moment for Westbrook to pause and look at what has made this journey possible. It is found in the trust built across years of working together, the lessons carried from one project to the next and the willingness of the team to keep improving how the work is done. There is still more to learn, more to build and more ways to contribute to the industry.
Westbrook moves forward with the same curiosity and commitment that shaped its beginning, ready for the opportunities still to come.
