Architectural practice strengthens senior team with two new directors

L-R: Richard Webb is joined by Jo Parry-Geddes and Darren Albury

MILL Architects has appointed two new directors to strengthen the existing management team.

Jo Parry-Geddes, RIAS advanced accredited conservation architect, and Darren Albury, who heads up the technical team, have been with the firm for five and seven years, respectively. They join current director Richard Webb following the recent retirement of founding director Chris Duncan.

Richard Webb said, “Jo and Darren exemplify the strength of talent at MILL and bring the commitment to clients and colleagues on which we pride ourselves. Their complementary skills will enhance the team considerably and I look forward to working with them as we continue to build our practice.”

Darren Albury added, “I am incredibly proud of everything MILL has achieved over the last seven years, and I am excited to have the opportunity to help lead the practice through its next chapter. The construction industry has been through some challenging years and I believe MILL has played an important role in supporting our clients’ interests. Rural development continues to be an important focus for the practice and I have enjoyed engaging with this community.”

Jo-Parry-Geddes commented, “As a conservation architect and retrofit specialist, securing the future of Scotland’s historic and traditional properties has been my passion for the last twenty years. At a time of climate crisis, sustainability and thermal efficiency are more important than ever. Ensuring MILL becomes the market leader is my primary focus. I am absolutely delighted to join Richard as a director of MILL Architects and continue to build on the valuable work delivered to date.”

South Queensferry-headquartered MILL Architects is a design-led firm working across urban, rural and heritage environments.
