An award-winning Midland architectural practice that specialises
in community, conservation and commercial work has promoted two
associates to directors.
Adrian Mathias and Mark Williams join the board of
Lichfield-based Brownhill Hayward Brown with a total of 25 years'
service to the company between them.
Adrian, 38, joined the company in 1999 as a project architect
after training at the Birmingham School of Architecture and working
in practice in Birmingham.
With a Masters degree in Building Conservation gained with BHB
sponsorship, he is an expert in heritage structures. His current
restoration projects include St Chad's Cathedral in Birmingham and
Highclere Castle in Newbury.
He also carries out design work across a wide range of
construction sectors, including schools, community facilities and
residential schemes.
Mark, 34, joined BHB in 1998 after graduating from
Plymouth School of Architecture and working for architectural
practices in Birmingham. Sponsored by BHB, he completed his
professional training while working full time for the
company.
With specialist expertise in townscape redevelopment and
residential master planning, he has worked on major residential
schemes including Darwin Park in Lichfield and the redevelopment of
Uttoxeter Cattle Market in Staffordshire.
Based at BHB's offices at Bird Street in Lichfield, the new
directors join managing director Andrew Hayward and fellow director
Charlie Brown on the BHB board. Peter Brownhill remains a
consultant to the 35-strong company, which was one of the first in
the country to achieve Chartered Practice status from the RIBA.
Andrew Hayward said: "We are delighted to promote Adrian and
Mark to the board. Their expertise and leadership skills will help
us take advantage of new opportunities following the recession and
lay the foundations for our long-term growth."
