“I particularly enjoy the challenge of communicating our ideas, either graphically or verbally, with beauty and clarity. We have a great team at Mountford Pigott with many different strengths. It gives me great satisfaction to bring these talents together and harness them to produce something greater than the sum of its parts, resulting in successful buildings and satisfied clients”.
