The company’s accessible design architectural service has seen continued expansion with an increasing amount of court protection/design adaptation projects in the pipeline.
Russell will assist director Richard Grota in this sector, while Headford will assist the management team in the growing strategic masterplanning/housing service sector which has also seen a rise in new instructions over the last year.
