Operations

How we work matters. At Summertown, responsibility is woven into every policy, process, and partnership—because we know great interiors start with great governance.

Governance That Drives Change

Our leadership is hands-on and values-led. General Manager Nicola Trivett oversees our operations with the support of a cross-functional Management Team. Together, they shape our strategy, set the tone for ethical business, and make sure we’re walking the talk—every day.

What they lead:

Corporate strategy & performance

Risk oversight & due diligence

Internal reporting & accountability

Policy enforcement & conflict resolution

Procurement with Purpose

We don’t just track costs—we ask better questions. Every order goes through a 4-eye or 6-eye process, ensuring fairness and value at every step. In 2025, our ICV score hit 28.32%, with a strong focus on sourcing from local suppliers and evaluating vendors through surveys and site audits.

Less Waste, More Value

From on-site skips to office bins, we separate, monitor, and report waste to boost recovery rates and cut landfill. In 2025, we diverted 67% of project waste and even composted landscaping waste from our HQ garden through an Aerobin system.

Planning for Climate Risk

With rising pressure for low-carbon materials and ESG-compliant spaces, our sector is evolving fast. We’re meeting it head-on—building risk mitigation, material reviews, and climate planning into how we scope, quote, and deliver fit-outs.
