Alexis Angelidis, Director, Visual Architects

Manchester-based event and interior design business Visual Architects secured a six-figure loan to accelerate its growth and expand its global client base.

The investment came from NPIF II – FW Capital Debt Finance, managed by FW Capital as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II (NPIF II). It enabled the business to purchase a 3D printer and a 5-Axis CNC machine to create complex designs. The CNC machine improves accuracy produced intricate shapes, and reduced waste - supporting Visual Architects’ commitment to recycling materials.

Based in Denton, Greater Manchester, Visual Architects specialises in innovative interior designs for events and venues. The team design, build, install, and manage full venue transformations, from bars and nightclubs to restaurants and festival stages.

Founded in 2013 by brothers Alexis and Lefteris Angelidis as a sister company to illumiNaughty, the business expanded rapidly across the UK before attracting global demand. Visual Architects works with clients in Dubai, Ibiza, California, Croatia, and Saudi Arabia.
