I joined Stephen George + Partners in 1979 as a year out student to complete my professional qualifications. After registering as an architect in 1980, I became an Associate in 1985 and a Partner in 1990. In 2010, Stephen George + Partners became an LLP and I became the Managing Partner focusing on strategic development and maintaining SGP’s forward looking philosophy. For my last 5 years with SGP I worked in the Senior Partner role using my experience and enthusiasm to help to develop SGP’s work in London and the South East. I retired from that role in December 2022 and now work as a consultant to the business.During my time at Stephen George + Partners I pioneered innovation in the design of industrial and distribution buildings, out of town retail space and offices. I was responsible for the introduction of computers into the office in the eighties and data management in the last decade. I have been an active member of the AFMG (Architects Financial Management Group) and BELG (Built Environment Leaders Group) and attended MIPIM and UKREiiF.Stephen George + Partners was founded in 1970.
