Liverpool’s Falconer Chester Hall listed among UK’s top architects
Falconer Chester Hall has re-entered the coveted AJ 100 group of leading UK architectures practices after a three year gap, making it up to the top three of north west practices in the list.
The Liverpool City Region Architects entered the prestigious chart at number 70, their highest ever ranking, just behind Halton-based Ellis Williams.
The rankings, published by leading trade title Architects’ Journal, are based on the number of architects employed. Out of a total headcount of 75 staff, FCH has 38 architects. The company also has an office in London’s High Holborn and a small project office in Kuala Lumpur, where they are engaged in the Putrajaya Precinct.
Managing Director, Adam Hall said:
“This is great recognition for our team, their talent and their hard work. I’m delighted for them”
“In the last year we have launched our new FCH Academy, which focuses on recruiting, mentoring and developing talented people throughout their careers. It’s had a big impact already and we see that reflected in our re-entry onto the list.”
The growth comes on the back of a number of significant project wins in the past eighteen months, including Elliot Group’s ‘triple towers’ in Liverpool, now on site, X1 Developments’ Manchester Waters project in Pomona Docks, a new hotel on the Mile End Road in London and a successful presence at MIPIM Cannes 2019.
“It’s great to see a number of other north west-based practices making the cut. The regional market remains strong and clients have high expectations in terms of design quality and building performance. Our ability to combine aesthetics with commerciality remains a key attribute in the eyes of our clients.” added Adam Hall.
