Promotions at Robothams Architects

The Partners are delighted to announce the promotion of Associates, Steve Hodges and Sam Karr to positions as Associate Directors within the practice. Sam and Steve are both familiar faces to our clients and collaborators having worked in our team for over ten years.  Their promotions are timed to coincide with changes in the structure of the business as Andrew Haines moves to a consultant role and steps down from the board.

Andrew will continue to work with the practice where he has provided strong leadership for over 30 years, and designed and managed the delivery of many of our award winning projects across a range of sectors. His ongoing focus will be project management within the independent school sector.

Sam and  Steve’s promotions reflect their hard work and commitment to the business, and the Partner’s ongoing desire to deploy senior individuals to look after key client relationships in the coming years.

Robothams Architects appoint new Partners

We are pleased to confirm the appointment of three new equity owning Partners to the practice’s board. Jon Moore, Alistair Brown and David Sercombe are familiar to many of our clients having been key members of the management team for the last few years. They join Andrew Foster and Andrew Haines in managing the practice with plans to strengthen commercial, residential and education teams.

In a related change to the company’s ownership, Nick James has stepped down as a director, taking up the role of consultant and advisor to the board.  Having worked for Robothams for 28 years, Nick has generated an enviable reputation in the commercial and residential sectors with strong design skills and expertise in planning. His new role will allow him to focus on business development and design leadership which will feed into the business’ wider strategy to attract more privately funded projects.
