JLL has announced the acquisition of UK-based design and fit-out company Bluu.

The deal forms part of JLL's continuing strategic investment plan for growing its Tétris design and fit-out business.

The acquisition takes immediate effect, with the Tétris UK team set to relocate into the Bluu London offices later this year. After a transitional period, Bluu will move completely under the Tétris brand in 2016.


Guy Grainger, JLL UK Chief Executive said: "We are delighted to welcome the 120-strong Bluu team joining with our existing Tétris business in the UK. Both businesses share the same core commitment to client service excellence and innovative high quality approaches to design and fit-out in what is a fast-moving and rapidly evolving sector."

Robb Simms-Davies, CEO, Bluu, added: "Bringing together our leading teams of designers, market knowledge and high quality delivery, along with Tétris' global platform and corporate client base will ensure we are the market leaders in multi-disciplinary fit-out."

Franck Eburderie, CEO, Tétris EMEA, commented: "We have long admired and respected the Bluu business in the UK and I am thrilled that we can now call them colleagues."
