BDP, which last week got the go-ahead for its plans for a major new treatment and research facility at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton (pictured), said it had seen 鈥渟ignificant growth at home and abroad鈥� in the past year.

It opened a new studio in Singapore last May and in February this year bought Toronto-based practice Quadrangle Architects.

Chief executive John McManus said: 鈥淥ur growing international network of studios鈥nsures that BDP will become increasingly influential in a global marketplace.鈥�

Employing more than 1,300 staff, up from 922 last year thanks mainly to the Toronto deal, BDP said it was aiming to generate approximately 70% of its turnover from its UK operations in the next three years.

BDP was bought by Japanese engineering giant Nippon Koei more than three years ago for just over 拢102m.
