Leading architect and historic building consultants, Purcell Miller Tritton, have appointed James Montgomery as Managing Principal of its Norwich operation to expand their operation in the East of England.
James joins Purcell Miller Tritton with a brief to harness his design experience and to develop a client base in the commercial sector which includes Mixed Use Regeneration Schemes, Commercial Office space and Industrial Units, as well as the publicly funded sectors, from community regeneration projects to Police Authority works.
Having worked throughout Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk this is a significant change of direction for PMT who have been traditionally regarded as operating primarily in the heritage field with a portfolio that includes work for clients as varied as Cambridge University and Prince Charles.
Chief Executive Officer, Mark Goldspink who himself worked extensively in the region said, “With a strong track record in the commercial sector, James brings a new dynamic to the practice that will add to its vast expertise across a variety of different sectors which already includes education, healthcare, residential and heritage. Although our first priority is to expand operations in Norwich we will be drawing on James’ skill set across the whole of the UK as we continue to move forward.”
Purcell Miller Tritton who are based at 3 Colgate in Norwich are also looking for new design talent in the region that will build on its existing experience across both historic and conservation fields, as well as a number of new build projects, to develop its offering and provide clients with the level and quality of service rarely seen outside of London.
James Montgomery commenting on his appointment said, “I am delighted to be working with an award winning practice that has such varied experience across a number of different sectors. This is a fantastic opportunity to draw on the skills of our existing team and bring in new designers with new skills.”
