2020 has already seen big changes for gcp as we continue to develop the way we manage our business and our in-house talent. We have always been a forward-looking employer, keen to support the development of the next generation of architects and technologists.
At the beginning of March, Jeremy Pilling and Jonathan Platt were joined on the board of directors by two of our senior architects, Jon Briscoe and Tom Mellor. Jon and Tom bring a wealth of experience and will be a central part of building our business into the future.
At the beginning of September the business became employee owned with the majority of the shareholding transferring to an Employee Ownership Trust held for the benefit of all our staff.
To coincide with this Colin Powell has become a consultant to the business. He will focus on his long-standing passion for the design and construction of low energy and PassivHaus buildings. This will become the focus for his new role as ‘energy architect’ within the practice.
