Two architects who have been with the same Dundee firm since graduation have been promoted to the role of associate.
Douglas Sturrock and Blair Smith secured the new positions at Jon Frullani Architect after playing an “instrumental” role in the firm.
Company owner, Mr Frullani, said: “Douglas and Blair have both been instrumental in our growth, development and success as a practice and I think it it’s only fitting they are rewarded for this – they thoroughly deserve it.
“The pair were the first and second employees at the practice and it has been great to see them develop from young graduates to become the first class professionals that they are.”
Mr Frullani added that the firm has strong ties with the University of Dundee’s School of Architecture, with his firm providing employment or full time work placements for more than 20 students in the last seven years.
He said: “We are committed to helping support and nurture young architectural talent and we offer up to 10 secondary school children one week placements each year.”
