Chesterfield architects named as one of the best in the UK

Local practice WCEC Architects has been named a top UK architectural practice, according to the AJ100, an industry survey compiled by leading publication Architects Journal.

Alex Wall, Managing Director of WCEC Architects, said: “This has been another positive and progressive year for WCEC with a record high turnover achieved at the end of last year. Our success is enabling us to invest and strategically position ourselves in new and growth market sectors to further ensure our long-term sustainability.”
“As well as consolidating our reputation in traditional sectors such as retail, the last year has seen WCEC further its status as a trusted designer of major urban residential, student living and mixed use schemes across the UK.”

“Our participation in high-profile projects, such as Middlewood Locks in Salford, is testament to WCEC’s growing reputation as a major force in UK architecture.”
The Architects Journal has surveyed UK practices for its definitive AJ100 rankings since 1995, offering insight into the sector’s performance and gauging the industry’s optimism for the year ahead. The Gala dinner and awards dinner took place on the 8th June at the Tower of London where the top architects and award winners were announced.
