Claire Burrage
Creative Director
Creative Director at Clara Bee. Claire has always had a passion for property and interior design and started renovating properties in 1995, initially her own, then helping friends with their property projects, working around being a mother to two daughters. She designs practical solutions that make the spaces work beautifully, and has built up a network of valued contacts with property and design professionals and contractors.
Over time the work became more formalised – new clients arrived through word of mouth recommendations and a formal business was created. Clara Bee Limited was established in May 2011.
Trevor Burrage
Operations Director, Head of Projects & Development
A certified Programme Director (MSP) and Project Manager (PRINCE) with over 35 years experience managing projects for large technology and outsourcing firms in the city. Trevor spent his first few months developing a bespoke project preparation process. The result is a clear alignment between every client’s planned budget and the scope of work being discussed. The benefits of this approach is total transparency of project funding prior to the kick-off, a strong foundation for managing change control during delivery and, ultimately, fewer unforeseen ‘extras’ from contractors.
Trevor is passionate about architecture. In particular the way new spaces work for the family living there – as well as the balance that must be struck with other areas of the home.
