Architect Matthew Spinks has been appointed director at Johnson Design Partnership an award-winning county firm at the age of just 31, it was announced today.
Matt Spinks said he was delighted and honoured following the announcement by Johnson Design Partnership, based in Bridgnorth.

Matt, who recently tied the knot and bought a new home in the town, has worked at the company for nearly six years contributing to some of the region’s most prestigious projects.

Founder and managing director Vic Johnson praised the “outstanding natural ability” of the firm’s newest director, adding that Matt had honed his skills over the years to cultivate a great understanding of architecture both in his designs and sense of responsibility to the projects he works on.

The firm prides itself on creating landmark buildings which are sensitive to their surroundings.

“From day one Matt has always shown a mature talent way beyond his years but has perfectly combined that with the enthusiasm of youth and an inspired eye for great design,” said Vic.

“We at Johnson Design feel very privileged to have him as part of the team and this new role is well-deserved and positive for the firm as a whole. We are looking forward to a very busy time ahead with several new and exciting projects in the pipeline and know that Matt is an integral part of those plans.”

He said today that it was a great sense of achievement to be appointed director and he was very excited about the challenges ahead.

“Architecture is not about design for design’s sake. It is about making a lasting statement which is sustainable for the long term,” said Matt.

“I think it is a great testament to the firm and its commitment to the community that it has such a positive attitude towards young professionals and encouraging people to settle and work in the county.

“Having recently got married and now settled in Bridgnorth is important for me to work with a firm which has such an informed vision for the future. It is a great move for me and I look forward now to building the business further and working on projects I have a great passion for.”

Johnson Design Partnership is a forward thinking and progressive Architectural Practice with a track record of successful projects to date. In my experience they always deliver to time scale and within budget and they bring a flair and innovative style that makes them a pleasure to work with I would have no hesitation in recommending them for future projects and particularly those involving difficult or complex Planning issues as they have proved in the past that their careful and considered strategic approaches to their projects and the needs of their clients ultimately ensures positive outcomes.

We engaged Johnson Design 4 years ago at the start of a big renovation and new build project. Matt Spinks has always taken our ideas or vague notions of an idea and turned them into something innovative which is both attractive and practical. We were delighted with the final plans which went straight through planning permission, even though part of the project was a Grade 2 listed renovation. As a project manager Matt has also been first rate and thoroughly supportive. We would not hesitate to recommend Johnson Design.

I highly recommend using Vic Johnson and his team at Johnson Design Partnership Limited, who have been appointed to create exciting designs for our new home and to lead the tendering and construction process. Vic and his colleague Becky Bradley have used their considerable depth of knowledge to develop exciting designs and are providing very helpful guidance as required through the decision-making process, whilst also focussing on projected costs and optimising the use of our available budget.

I thoroughly enjoyed working through the design process with Johnson Design Partnership. They explained what was required each step of the way and achieved Planning Permission for my Paragraph 79 / House, first time! (Resolution to grant consent).
I would always recommend Johnson Design Partnership to anyone looking to create an Architecturally exciting project or indeed another successful paragraph 80 house.

We have used Johnson Design several times and have always found them so helpful, efficient and professional. We are presently using them for a complex multi-building design and Vic has brought such vision and interest to our options. Our views are always taken seriously (something a previous architect we had dealt with didn’t do) making you feel very involved in all designs and decisions.
We would highly recommend this company regardless of how big or small your design is.
