“To become trusted with the nation’s finest properties and monuments with both the state and the private sector clients, demands a level of skill, integrity and commitment rarely found”. For many years Peter has been retained by the most impressive portfolio of client’s, working alongside respected architects and visionary interior designers on a collection of the nation’s foremost projects. “It remains my privilege to have worked on some quite extraordinary projects, directing the exceptionally talented craft teams and artisans who have created and conserved the stunning finishes we now all admire”.
The difference between the truly exceptional project and the majority is widely thought to be the scale, the location or the available funds. “Whilst clearly all these elements can have a bearing, it is more often a failure of the team’s collective vision and communication of what is required that makes the difference”
