Bath architects Stubbs Rich have underscored a strong start to 2013 by winning the professional services category at the Bath Life Awards.
Judges praised the practice’s support for graduates, its 20% growth in turnover last year, and the quality of its work.
Stubbs Rich is supporting three members of staff through their five-year university training, and mentoring a fourt
h through her final set of exams to become a qualified architect.
Last year the firm worked with private sector clients including Audi, Volkswagen and IKEA, as well as commercial and residential developers and public sector clients such as Bath & North East Somerset Council and the University of Bath. Charity clients include HorseWorld.
The company also enhanced its international standing during the year, securing invitations to speak at two conferences in the US.
Partner John Rich, pictured, said: “Our business is based on creating great designs and delivering exceptional value at the same time, and we believe that is what really sets us apart from the crowd. This award is testament to the Stubbs Rich team’s hard work and commitment and we are thrilled to have won.”
The Bath Life Awards were presented at a black tie dinner at the Assembly Rooms earlier this week.
The award is Stubbs Rich’s second accolade inside six months. Last September it won the Environmental Business of the Year Award at the Bath Business Awards.
