Due to ongoing success in the healthcare sector, Gilling Dod's commitment to quality and innovation, plus realising long-term business planning, Gilling Dod Architects continues to grow and thrive with new appointments right across the team.
The company is excited to announce a new leadership layer to the current Practice structure to complement the already highly experienced teams. Gilling Dod has created three new Associate Director positions, with further appointments planned in the future, as we continue to respond to the ever-changing needs of the sector.
The new Director Associates will have a pivotal role within the Practice as Gilling Dod build on the impressive track record by evolving, innovating and driving forward quality across the business. Huge congratulations go to Andrew Goodwin, Robin Graham, Neil Whatford.
Promoted through the ranks, Andrew Goodwin (top, right) joined us in 2014.
