How Opendoorz relationships delivered a £1 million contract and created new business opportunities

At #Opendoorz, collaboration isn’t just a value – it’s the foundation for building lasting relationships and the confidence to achieve more together.

This ethos was powerfully demonstrated when Christian Haimes of Anne Haimes Interiors Ltd turned to the Opendoorz network to deliver on a complex client project. But beyond the project itself, what truly stands out is how trust and shared expertise within the network opened doors to exceptional business outcomes.

When Christian received the brief, he knew it required more than creative design – it needed reliable, expert partners. Confident in the strength of his Opendoorz relationships, he collaborated with Kate Cooper of Absolute Architecture and Helen Parsons of Helen Parsons Landscape Design. Their shared understanding and trust enabled seamless progress at a crucial stage of the project.

As the scope expanded to include a competitive construction tender, Christian again drew on the Opendoorz community. James High of The High Group london ultimately secured the £1 million contract – the largest in his company’s history. It was a career-defining moment born not from cold pitches, but from relationship-based confidence.

As the project progresses Christian and James have shared that the same trust will continue to generate opportunities for others within the network.

Each opportunity grew from relationships built on mutual respect, professional credibility, and the collaborative spirit that defines Opendoorz.

This is the real power of the network: not just connections, but confidence. Confidence to bring others in, to share responsibility, and to know that excellence will be delivered. Christian’s experience reflects what happens when professionals stop competing and start collaborating – with trust at the core.

In Opendoorz, relationships aren’t just good for business – they are the business.
