We’ve Made Two Senior Appointments

We have made a positive start to 2025 with the recruitment of two highly experienced industry specialists bringing a combined experience in excess of 60 years.

Associate Director Architect, Mark Massey, has returned to the practice following a 22-year tenure at Calderpeel Architects and is joined by Wayne Jones, appointed to the newly created position of Technical Lead.

In light of the Government’s target to build 1.5 million new homes in the next five years, Mark has been brought in to compliment and strengthen our residential portfolio.  

Mark has extensive experience designing and delivering a wealth of residential projects for a wide range of property developers, national housebuilders and registered providers, together with a broad portfolio of blue light projects.

Wayne brings with him more than 40 years’ industry experience amassed at several high-profile North West practices, most recently with a 10-year stint as Associate Technical Director at Leach Rhodes Walker. With vast technical knowledge, along with a wealth of practical cross-sector experience, Wayne will lead the technical delivery of projects across the practice. Helping our practice to continue to meet the highest standards of design and compliance following the implementation of the Building Safety Act (BSA) and associated changes to Building Regulations.

Andy Rainford, Managing Director, said:

“It’s a real pleasure to welcome Mark back to the fold who will, along with Wayne, add significant skill and experience to our already extensive capabilities. We have a great, growing team and many established clients in a diverse range of sectors and together, we look forward to continuing to deliver places that provide lasting value for our clients, communities and the environment.“
