Five Continents, One Mission

“RMJM” is the brand under which thousands of dedicated professionals in independent firms throughout the world collaborate to provide Architectural, Interior design and Urban design related services to select clients. These firms acquired rights to operate using the RMJM brand from Duthus Group Investments Limited (DGIL), a UK private company, after they have passed DGIL’s stringent quality control process. Each RMJM firm provides services in particular geographic areas and is subject to the laws and professional regulations of the particular country or countries in which it operates.

Each RMJM firm is structured in accordance with national laws, regulations, customary practice, and other factors, and may make available professional services in its territory through subsidiaries, affiliates, and other related entities. Not every RMJM firm provides all services.

DGIL and each RMJM firm are legally separate and independent entities, which cannot obligate each other. DGIL and each RMJM firm are liable only for their own acts and omissions, and not those of each other. DGIL does not provide services to clients and so does not trade using the RMJM brand. Clients engaging with any RMJM firm will do so through an appropriately registered, licenced and managed entity of the relevant territory.

RMJM was founded in 1956 by Sir Robert Matthew & Stirrat Johnson- Marshall in the United Kingdom.  Entrepreneurial & Internationalist from the outset, a series of high profile design commissions in London provided a platform for expansion outside the UK. By the late 1960s, RMJM were supporting the British Government, the United Nation and a serious of international Governments on major projects in the Middle East & North Africa and formally established RMJM in Dubai in 1971 before the formation of the United Arab Emirates. The 1970s saw RMJM established in Asia and working in China as early as the mid-1980s.  A period of stagnation followed the retirement of the founding partners in the ’80s and ’90s but by the beginning of the 21st Century a series of high profile project wins including the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Gazprom Tower in St Petersburg and the Media and Broadcasting Centre for the Beijing Olympics heralded another period of international expansion resulting in an RMJM business today established across 5 Continents.
