Pope Priestley Architects - Lo Shu Events Goes With A Swing
Pope Priestley Architects LLP hosted a Lo Shu shindig (15th
anniversary party) on 7th December at Apartment 26 in Southampton.
Formula One’s Mark Gallagher gave an entertaining motivational
presentation drawing parallels between the adrenalin-fuelled world
of motor sports and modern day business.
Dennis Priestley, MD of Pope Priestley says: “This is a great
opportunity for us to celebrate the company’s success and to say
thank you to the people who have made the last 15 years possible”.
Over the years the firm has seen growth across a wide spectrum of
sectors including residential, commercial, industrial, leisure and
education, with names such as Sunrise Senior Living, Southampton
Solent University, Linden Homes, Credit Suisse and The Accor Group.
For Dennis, the last 15 years have flown by and the firm has gone
from strength to strength. ‘Over those years we have grown
organically and built on the original solid foundation. If you
combine that with the commitment and talent of great staff and a
generous measure of good fortune, how could we fail.’
Dennis adds ‘there is a continuing gap in knowledge of younger staff
and the need to train people is becoming more and more necessary.
Changes in information technology and computer design skills occur
at an increasingly rapid rate and we need to continue to embrace
these changes and adapt our working practices accordingly. Perhaps
the key issue for any architectural practice is maintaining and
developing design skills because without that we are only
draughtsmen/women’.
From Cardiff student to successful architect, Dennis demonstrates a
character that is committed, hardworking and highly motivated. With
such a talented team, Pope Priestly Architects LLP will continue to
create dynamic buildings for all of us to utilise and enjoy for 2007
and beyond.
