Pair took out loan when practice folded to ensure staff were not left in lurch
Jeremy Dixon and Edward Jones paid their staff’s £98,000 redundancy bill from their own pockets when the practice collapsed last year, they have revealed.
The pair, who founded the influential practice 30 years ago, took out a substantial loan to ensure their 15 remaining members of staff did not miss out on money owed to them.
It allowed them to keep redundancy pay out of the winding-up process which might have seen staff waiting many months to be paid sums understood to average £6,500 each.

The London Festival of Architecture (LFA) has launched a contest for a series of £20,000 pop-up interventions on Exhibition Road in South Kensington [Deadline: 10 May 2021]
The ‘New Growth on Exhibition Road’ competition – supported by the V&A, Discover South Kensington and Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 – seeks innovative proposals for temporary structures which boost biodiversity while also stimulating cultural recovering following the pandemic which has seen many local museums temporarily close.

The call for concepts aims to create a ‘welcoming environment that is attractive and engaging for visitors, residents, students and people working in South Kensington, many of whom will be returning to the area after long absences.’ Three winning teams will each receive £20,000 – including a £3,000 design fee – to deliver their concept in time for the summer.
