The four founding partners all met at Wolff Olins: Gerry Barney, David Bristow, Kit Cooper, Terence Griffin and set up the company in 1978. All but Barney retired from the business in 1996 after Mick Nash took over as managing director. The company operated an office in Berlin from 1987 to 2004.

Gerald Barney started his career at the Design Research Unit designing logos like the iconic British Rail logo [1]

The agency originally started as a graphic design agency yet evolved and increased its disciplines as client demands grew. This has been central to the agency's growth and it now covers typography, architecture, interior design, corporate branding, packaging, 3D Graphics and online design.

The agency took its name from the address of its original offices situated on Sedley Place adjacent to Oxford Street and Woodstock Street in London. This street was after Orlando Sedley an 18th Century Furniture maker who had his workshops located there. The agency relocated to its current offices in 1985 on Venn St, Clapham.
