First architect to become chief executive of BDP, Glasgow

JOHN McManus has been appointed chief executive of international design practice BDP.
The role is re-elected by BDP’s board of directors every two years and Peter Drummond, who has been in the post since 2004, made the decision to pass the baton on, and not seek re-election.
John McManus became the first architect to become chief executive of BDP when he took up the role at the start of January. John is based in Glasgow and will take responsibility for all the day-to-day operations.
