Employee Case Study

Claire joined Stride Treglown in 2006, working as a Part II Architectural Assistant:

“I wanted to work for a practice that could invest in me as a student and provide me with opportunities for skills development. At Stride Treglown there is plenty of opportunity if you want it. They are currently helping me through my Part 3, providing seminars and mentoring. As the practice is large there is plenty of scope for working on a small or large project, working in a small or large team. The social side of the team structure is also good, and I’m getting to see lots of different projects happening side by side. I can develop my creative potential within the industry alongside people who have the knowledge and experience to guide me.”
