Architects\u2019 practice Worcester Lloyd<\/a> is drawing up designs for expansion after enjoying a stellar first year in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm, which is based in Connect Derby<\/a>\u2019s Sadler Bridge Studios, in Bold Lane, Derby, has clocked up a sizeable portfolio of successful projects since becoming incorporated as a new business in February last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it began trading in May, the firm, which also offers structural engineering services, has completed more than 200 client projects and averaged between 75 and 100 live projects at any one time.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The business was formed by architect Marissa Worcester and structural engineer Dean Lloyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both had previously run their own separate businesses \u2013 Worcester Architects and Bargate Design \u2013 but had crossed paths on numerous projects for more than seven years and felt the time was right to join forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of Worcester Lloyd\u2019s clients to date are private homeowners, hailing from as far afield as Norfolk, Wales and Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the business is now setting its sights on attracting more commercial projects, particularly in the office, retail and leisure sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marissa said: \u201cWe\u2019re pinching ourselves right now. Our business could not have had a better start than it has. It\u2019s been incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDean and I assumed we\u2019d be on to a winner, being the only firm in Derby \u2013 and probably one of the only ones in the Midlands – that provides both architectural and structural engineering services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis particularly benefits our commercial clients, who are really attracted by the fact that we can do everything inhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt makes life much easier for contractors, project managers, clients and us, as it removes all the confusing layers of accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur plan now is to expand the business in all the areas that we work in \u2013 importantly without compromising on the personal approach we take with clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Worcester Lloyd team is currently five strong, with plans to recruit more staff this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
