THREE SENIOR APPOINTMENTS STUDIO RBA
Merseyside architectural practice Studio RBA (founded in July 2017) has announced three new appointments to the growing firm, with two directors and a technician bringing the team to 10 permanent staff. Jack Johnson, 32, joins as an architect director, having worked previously for A2 Architects; while Kenny McNaughton, also 32, is the firm’s new managing director, joining from Dutch firm Koole to take on a split design and business management role. The third new recruit is architectural technologist Matthew Johnson, 22, who is seen as a rising star in the industry, joining from L7 Architects. Adam Morgan, director of Studio RBA, said, “It’s been a great couple of years for us, one that has seen us carve our niche in the sector, punching above our weight to successfully compete for some huge north west developments. It’s important that a new business grows steadily and doesn’t sit still, so when the chance came to add vital skills and experience to the group, we didn’t hesitate.” Recent project wins like the 12-storey Eclipse development in Liverpool’s Baltic Village has seen the
firm’s stock rise in the north west, allowing them to “bring in the best staff and work on more high-profile schemes.” With our workload constantly increasing it feels like the right time to expand and make sure that the commissions our talented team are winning keep on coming.” The firm said it has a reputation for “original design and efficiency, backed by a young team,” and has over 140 projects under its belt.
RICHARD NAPIER AHR
Architecture and building consultancy practice AHR has welcomed Richard Napier to its Glasgow office, during a period of regional growth that has seen new leadership and a number of high-profile wins. With 30 years’ experience, he is said to be a respected figure in Scottish architecture and previously worked for AHR between 2006 and 2016. Richard commented: “It feels excellent to be back in the AHR family and part of the Glasgow management team. AHR is a well- established and dynamic practice that has a stellar reputation and a distinct brand. This is a prolific time for the office, and I am looking forward to many future project opportunities.”
TWO SENIOR PROMOTIONS TURLEY
Planning and development consultancy Turley has appointed Angela Reeve as its new head of planning and promoted head of sustainability Colin Morrison to senior director. Reeve will lead Turley’s Midlands planning team, which is involved in several high-profile projects including major regeneration sites such as Paradise and Port Loop, and Peddimore, which is “one of the most significant employment development opportunities in the UK.” said the firm. Colin will continue to lead Turley’s national sustainability and EIA services, operating across the UK with a team of expert consultants based in the Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, London and Manchester offices.
Alex Herbert has joined LDA Design as its new head of planning to continue to grow the practice’s planning offer in infrastructure, energy, major mixed-use development and regeneration. Alex is “highly experienced at taking extremely challenging, nationally significant projects through the planning system,” the firm said. Most recently, he was major permissions strategy advisor for Horizon Nuclear Power on Wylfa Newydd. Alex said, “It feels great to be joining LDA Design at such an exciting time in the organisation’s history. LDA Design has an incredibly experienced planning team and I’m hoping to draw on my experience to further expand the team’s reach.”
