Design Centre Chelsea Harbour welcomes new Managing Director


Claire German takes over the helm at the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour today, joining as the new Managing Director. She replaces Helen Fifield, who has left to take a course at the Royal Academy after seven years.

Previously Publishing Director at House & Garden magazine, Claire brings a considerable wealth of knowledge and experience from within the international interior design sector. She joins Design Centre Chelsea Harbour at a very exciting time with the Phase II development of these iconic buildings about to begin.

MARCOL’s Co Founder and CEO Terence Cole states: “Claire’s dynamism and enthusiasm will enhance our vision for the future and further establish Design Centre Chelsea Harbour as the world’s leading design destination.”

Co Founder and CEO Mark Steinberg adds: “Helen’s contribution has been outstanding and we will miss her greatly. We’ve worked very closely together during her time with us and her intelligence and creativity have helped develop the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour we know today. We wish both Claire and Helen every success in the future.”
