Welcome New Landscape Architects

We are delighted to welcome two new Landscape Architects to the team – Charlotte and Monika. Both hold a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from Edinburgh College of Art and will be working on both Landscape Design and Landscape Assessment projects. The rest of the team are really looking forward to working with them both.

We are recruiting

We are recruiting! The role available will involve both landscape design and landscape assessment work, along with project management and business development duties, working on a wide variety of projects.

Whilst a Chartered Landscape Architect would be preferred, please don’t hesitate to apply if have not yet completed your chartership, all good applications will be considered.

Stewart’s Resort Retirement Lodges Consented

Delighted to hear that Stewart’s Resort secured planning consent for 35 Luxury Residential Retirement Park Homes recently. The development will be a secure gated community adjacent to the existing new Luxury Lodge Park near St Andrews.

We were pleased to provide a wide range of services for this project, including masterplan design, landscape design, landscape assessment, visualisations and ecological services.

ISO 9001:2015 Training

We all had a very useful ISO9001:2015 Internal Quality Auditor training session with CQS (Certified Quality Systems) Ltd this week.

ISO 9001 is a set of requirement that define how a Quality Management System should be established and implemented in order to achieve continual improvement and manage risk.

Brindley is already accredited with the IS0 9001 certification, and the training this week will help us to build on those foundations.

Looking forward to streamlining and improving some of our processes in the coming weeks!
