Director Zoe Hooton said: “We work on projects all over the UK, including many on our own doorstep here in Lancaster. We’re passionate about the city and want to work with others to promote good design and create great buildings.”

Richard Wooldridge, also a director, added: “I’m really proud of the team we have here. It gives you such a buzz when you’re driving through the area and you see buildings that you’ve designed helping to employ, educate and entertain people.”

Architect Hayley Dufton said: “It’s a really diverse job. You can be working on a large hotel extension and then the next job is a church restoration project. Plus, we can see Lancaster Castle from our office window, so it’s a pretty inspiring place to work from too.”
