I have a multitude of skills appropriate to young and mid-life design and architectural practices who have a long way to go and a short time-scale to get there, and offer a one-to-one confidential mentoring service. Below are a few short testimonial extracts from architects with whom I have worked:“Annie helped us to review and evaluate our previous work in a critical way and to focus our intentions for the future. It was very useful to have a third party to work with - someone with an extensive knowledge of the business of architectural practice.”charlick+nicholson architects “Annie was instrumental in implementing start up structures for our fledgling business. She was there for us at every stage giving us support in both development and financial areas, ensuring that we were able to take our business to the next level.”Ben Parker, MadeThought“Annie has provided indispensable support for Ash Sakula since 2001 and, frankly, I do not know how we would have managed without her. She has worked closely with us two partners, and latterly with our two associates also, helping guide the practice's development from three people to, currently, fifteen. She has had an acute understanding of the culture of our practice, and an awareness of how delicate a thing a growing practice can be.“Robert Sakula RIBA, Ash Sakula ArchitectsSpecialties: Hands on advice on many aspects of practice management.
