It’s been a year of many firsts, some changing everything. There’s no doubt it’s been a tough one, calling on hidden strengths and a need to lean on each other. But lean we have. Never have we needed the first shoots of spring more, like coming up from the bottom of the pool for a big gulp of air.

We have our clients to thank for their trust in us and for some incredible projects, from pocket parks that provide doorstep access to vital green space, to new kinds of urban neighbourhoods, to game-changing infrastructure that not only make a zero-carbon future more likely but also make for better, more inclusive places.

And we are thankful to everyone in our collective – the best and brightest bunch of people you could hope to meet and work alongside. Always hopeful and imaginative, always believing in the power of landscape to transform lives, always there.
