THE MIDDLE YEARS (1984 - 1999)

Trading from the above address, a personal and comprehensive Architectural and Interior Design Service was provided from inception to completion for Regional and National Brewers and Pub Companies.

From simple beginnings the office was set up with an initial budget of £500.00 and a monthly rental of £90.00

A test drive on an Apple Classic in 1984 sowed the seed for a major £10,000 investment in 1990 with the purchase of an Apple MacIntosh computer running MiniCAD 3D software (now VectorWorks) and Microsoft Office Suite.

Exciting times were had, with long days sometimes turning into long nights, assisted by no more than adrenalin and my wife's invaluable support.

With "The Beer Orders" of the mid 90's eventually taking their toll, along with increasing IT costs, the door on Unit F6 was finally shut in July 1999, allowing another one to open with full time employment back in Mainstream Architecture at the William Walker Partnership in Bradford.
