Many congratulations to our fantastic colleague Wissam Nacef on successfully passing her RIBA Part III exams! Since joining the team in 2022 she has worked on a variety of projects including stabilisation and restoration works at the Category A listed Dalmeny House.

We are delighted that the restoration of Fairburn Tower for the @LandmarkTrust has been shortlisted for the 2025 RIAS Awards. The project saw the Category A listed tower transformed from a roofless ruin into high quality holiday accommodation.

We have enjoyed 20 years of Burns suppers since we were first appointed by the @N_T_S to undertake a masterplan for the Burns National Heritage Park.  Our work included a new Museum and the sensitive repair of the famous category A-listed cottage where Robert Burns was born.

Scott spotted in Newcastle Cathedral clock. An adventurous day discovering hidden corners during a quinquennial inspection of Newcastle Cathedral. Here, Scott crawled through a tunnel in the tower, popping out in a tiny space between the wall and clock face.

Last night Simpson & Brown hosted the SPAB-STBA Conference 2024 closing reception at York Art Gallery. It was wonderful to see current SPAB fellows and delegates enjoy the work of William Morris, a founder of SPAB, within the galleries that we completed in 2015.
