We often have a number of projects on the go at once, all of various shapes and sizes. Currently we are actively working on Newman Brothers and feasibility work for the Brandwood End Cemetery chapel buildings, curiously two projects associated with death!
However we maintain our interest in a number of other buildings, including Curzon Street Station and JW Evans – the silver stamping firm now owned by Engish Heritage.

Consequently we are also working on ways to help establish a development trust which can actively deliver change in this unique business district.
