Chapman Taylor UK has promoted two Directors, Andy Hudson and Jonathan Bethel to the UK Board.

Andy Hudson joined Chapman Taylor in 2000 to work on the early stages of Drakes Circus, Plymouth before moving to our Prague office in 2001. He returned to the UK in 2003 as site architect for Drakes Circus , to work on a variety of projects  before taking on the Associate Director role on the delivery of St David’s 2 Cardiff. In 2008 Andy was promoted to Director and transferred to our Bucharest office followed by a move to the Shanghai studio in 2010 where he was instrumental in growing the business there before returning to London in 2014. Having worked at senior level across a number of our International Businesses, Andy brings a broad range of design skills and management experience to the UK business. He is currently leading the Bracknell delivery team and responsible for developing and championing our BIM strategy across the UK studios.

Jonathan Bethel  joined Chapman Taylor’s London office in 2001 to work on the implementation of the Bullring, Birmingham. Jonathan’s key completed projects include Princesshay Exeter and Cabot Circus Bristol, both successful sensitive urban mixed-use regeneration projects , which is one of his passions. In 2012 Jonathan relocated, in conjunction with Nick Thursby, to establish the Bristol office which has successfully grown to 24 staff and is working on a wide range of exciting projects. In addition to working with the UK Board, Jonathan will continue to jointly lead the Bristol office with Nick.

We would like to congratulate both Andy and Jonathan.
