Hodder hires three grads

Hodder + Partners has appointed three new team members from the Manchester School of Architecture to support the ongoing growth of the practice.

Richard Newman, Simina Ionescu and Shaun Jenkins have joined the Castlefield-based studio, which has been operating for 25 years

Hodder said: “Hodder and Partners has grown significantly in recent years. The appointments of Richard, Simina and Shaun will help us build on the solid foundations that we have in place, as we continue to work on a number of diverse projects which demand high quality architecture.

“It’s a particularly exciting time for us as a practice. Last month we were recognised at the annual Manchester Architects Awards for our work on the £30m RHS Garden Bridgewater project, just days after plans for the scheme got the go-ahead.

“We are also working on several projects in sectors including sport and leisure, residential, workplace, civic and culture and healthcare.”
