As well as housing, Wayne and his team have designed furniture for G Plan and John Lewis, wallpaper for Graham & Brown, uniforms for McDonalds and London Underground, and a host of other projects for clients. Wayne received an MBE in 2006 and is on the Design Council Trustee Board and the Design Council CABE Committee.
