The pair met while working together several years ago for Malmaison, Hotel du Vin and DeVere Hotels, where they formed the initial idea for Curate.
Ms Pegg said: “We’re an ambitious and growing agency, which is why we’ve moved to Hoults Yard – somewhere we can expand further if and when we want to. We’re already looking to recruit to the team, with some new and exciting work in the pipeline.
“It’s not just about making good looking designs – it’s about how our designs can enhance and develop hotels, restaurants and other businesses with a creative yet commercial understanding. “That might be developing new designs for a suite of menus for a restaurant brand, working to build a brand from scratch as we did with The Cookie Jar hotel in Alnwick or directing and producing TV ads for Virgin Active.”
Hoults Yard is owned and run by business centre operator HyHubs, which also runs Haylofts in Haymarket and Hypoint in Gateshead.
HyHubs manager Laura Goldston said: “We’re delighted to welcome David, Michelle and their team to the Yard. We’ve had a long history of creative agencies and companies making their home here, and we’re thrilled Curate chose the Yard.”
