ARCHITECTURAL firm Bracewell Stirling Consulting has announced the appointment of Stephen Lynas to the new role of business development manager.
He will support Bracewell Stirling’s teams in Tillicoultry, Inverness, and Oban, and play a key role in delivering the organisation’s growth strategy by consolidating and expanding its services in design & build, pre-construction, and framework & partnership working.
Stephen began his career as a chartered architect in 1997, and has since built up a track record in project design and delivery across a range of sectors and building types. Initially working in private practice, he moved into project management, before spending over 20 years in pre-construction, bid management, and business development with a regional main contractor on various projects across Scotland.
Stephen Lynas said, “This is an extremely exciting time to join Bracewell’s. Having worked with them as a client and contractor over the years, I’m aware of their well-earned reputation in the architectural sector.
“Invited to come on board by senior partners, David Keith and Amanda MacRitchie, it’s a pleasure to join the business to help consolidate and build on their success. Across our three office locations, I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to enhance our work as we approach the firm’s centenary and beyond.”
Over the past six months, Bracewell Stirling has strengthened its team with architectural and technical appointments across various levels.
Senior partner David Keith said, “Bracewell has a strong reputation for delivering award-winning architectural designs across Scotland, and Stephen’s appointment marks an exciting step in the firm’s continued growth. We’ve worked with Stephen over several years in his previous roles and know him to be well-connected and respected in Scotland’s construction sector and is a great fit for our existing team.
“His background in main contracting will be invaluable as we expand our service offerings. Stephen’s experience in bid management and securing projects will also add significant value for our clients across the business.
“Since joining the portfolio of Inverness-based investment group GEG Capital earlier this year, many doors have already opened for Bracewell Stirling. As we approach our hundredth year in business, we are also preparing for even further growth. This strategic partnership not only aligns with our commitment to excellence, as evidenced by our recent Excellence in Accessibility & Inclusion award for the Primrose Street residential development, but also enhances our ability to expand our networks, while maintaining our commitment to existing clients.”
