Gillespies adds three to North West team

Landscape, masterplanning and urban design consultancy Gillespies has expanded its office in the region to 20, following the recruitment of three new staff.

Rebekah Russell joined this month from Pegasus an urban designer with in-depth experience in the residential sector. Landscape architect Zac Ford, formerly of Wardell Armstrong, has also started with the practice this month, while Sam Hamilton, a landscape graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University, joined in December.

Gillespies is based in Hale. Projects it is currently working on include Trafford Waters and the Sir Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials.

Jim Gibson, partner at Gillespies, said: “These highly talented and capable individuals will help the practice to continue to meet high standards and help deliver exceptional outputs for our clients.”
