Buttress has appointed Freya Needham as senior heritage consultant at the practice.
In her new role, Needham, who joined Buttress four years ago, will continue to support team strategy, develop client relationships and contribute to the continued development of new opportunities as demand for expert heritage advice increases across the built environment sector.
The firm’s heritage consultancy team is led by Jenna Johnston, associate heritage consultant, within Buttress director Stephen Anderson’s wider team.
Anderson said: “Marking my own 20 years with the practice recently, it is especially rewarding to see where we are as a business. We’ve grown the heritage consultancy offering over the past 11 years and it has gone from strength-to-strength. We feel we’re in a rather unique place, offering this service as part of our leading architectural and design practice, working up and down the country on some very diverse projects.”
Johnston added: “It’s great to see our dynamic heritage consultancy team helping to carry our heritage work forward with such passion and integrity. Freya should feel proud of her appointment as it is very well deserved.”
Needham said: “My background in archaeology is becoming increasingly relevant. It brings an additional layer of understanding to our work – helping clients appreciate not just the visible fabric of a place, but the deeper stories and layers (excuse the pun) that shape it.”
