Aukett Swanke Appoints New Director in UK Studio
Aukett Swanke are pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Bagge as a Director in our UK studios. His appointment strengthens our expertise in a number of key sectors in which we anticipate growth, while contributing to ongoing succession planning within the UK operations.
Jason returns to Aukett Swanke having worked at director level at a number of prominent international practices over the last decade. He has over 20 years' experience extending across: life sciences and laboratories, education, commercial, residential, retail, leisure, and urban regeneration projects.
Jason brings a rare combination of strategic thinking and design leadership, and an ability to plan and operate at different building scales with a highly collaborative working style across the whole design team.
The return of a key appointment to the practice after a period working in other highly regarded practices signals an ability to recognise external expertise, albeit grounded in early experience within Aukett Swanke, while also welcoming the fresh thinking and scrutiny that comes with such a high level appointment. This provides an opportunity to reappraise and adjust current business strategy as necessary in an unpredictable market, positioning the practice to take advantage of new opportunities and markets that may present themselves.
UK Managing Director Luke Schuberth said: "We welcome Jason back to the team and to his creative talents adding yet more depth to our growing workload".
Aukett Swanke Group CEO Nicholas Thompson said: "We are entering a new era at Aukett Swanke with the development of our businesses in areas complementary to our traditional architectural skills .That Jason has chosen to join our team is a very positive event and comes soon after the considerable achievement of Veretec , announced recently, being named Executive Architects of the Year for the second year running.
