Director - AHMM Architects
RIBA President, 2021-2023
I have known Richard for twenty years. In that time we have done some really challenging and always very successful projects. He engages in the creative side of the discussion and not only looks to understand what we want, but he then goes out of his way to help us get it! So he has become someone I and the team at AHMM can turn to for an opinion – and if he cannot help he will always step aside and help us find who can. In this way he is unusually generous with his time. He has also been a supporter of architectural programmes – particularly helping students.
Director, CZWG Limited
Richard originally assisted us over 10 years ago during the design development and construction phases of Canada Water Library for the London Borough of Southwark. Richard was always committed and responsive in responding to all of our queries and assisting us in every way he could. His vast industry knowledge and experience supported us numerous times in overcoming technical difficulties and in coming up with stunning visual and acoustic solutions – the internal sweeping library staircase lined with Richard’s timber acoustic system is a thing of beauty and one of the main focal points of the building.
Our collaboration with Richard extends on other studio projects since the CWL days, during which he remained as committed and accommodating to our needs as ever.
Managing Director, Allied Interiors (Scotland)
Richard has been a great support to our business for several years, providing a depth of knowledge in his field built up over his time in the industry. Working with Richard can assist in adding value whilst maintaining the Quality and Performance required by Contractors, Clients and Architects via the product range he brings to the UK market.
Richard is always contactable and happy to travel great distances to meet face to face at site meetings, our own offices or at an architects practice, and always has technical information and samples of his products at hand, which we have found to be an invaluable and very personable way of doing business.
Should you require assistance with product selection, technical information, budgeting for a current or future project, or to bounce any ideas regards potential alternative product choices; I would not hesitate to recommend Richard.
