A successful Suffolk architecture practice has celebrated three major milestones for the firm and its directors.
Hadleigh-based Wincer Kievenaar celebrated its 45th anniversary earlier in July, tying in with the 10th anniversaries of directors Philip Branton and Craig Western.
Employees and guests enjoyed a party at Nedging Hall to mark the occasion alongside special guests including clients past and present, contractors and external colleagues.
Philip said: “We are delighted to be marking Philip Branton and Craig Western’s 10 years of directorship, alongside 45 years of Wincer Kievenaar as a business – a significant milestone we are proud to share with those who have helped us reach where we are today.
“We are very grateful to everyone who helped make the occasion so special. We were especially fortunate to enjoy beautiful sunshine and a refreshing breeze in the stunning surroundings of Nedging Hall.
“It was our way of saying thank you to the team for everything they do – and have continued to do – to keep the business running day to day.”
Founded in 1980, the firm has delivered high-profile projects across a variety of sectors such as heritage, residential, commercial and in health and education.
It has since gone on to earn close to 50 industry awards for its work, including multiple RIBA Suffolk and Suffolk Association of Architects Craftsmanship Awards.
Entertainment at the event included an acoustic set from Ipswich singer Adam Thomas, while Norfolk-based caterers Bay and Fig provided an array of drinks and canapes.
Craig added: “After our guests departed, the whole Wincer Kievenaar team had the opportunity to relax and unwind, enjoying a BBQ and a few drinks, and staying overnight at the impressive Nedging Hall.
“We made the most of the swimming pool and spent time playing games in the garden, enjoying the chance to switch off together in such beautiful surroundings.”
