BTP hires award-winning conservation practitioner

BTP Architects welcomed Adrian Pearson (RIBA/SCA & AABC) to the practice as a Senior Conservation Architect in March.

The former director at architects Lloyds Evans Prichard, who was awarded the prestigious King of Prussia gold medal in 2016 for his exemplary conservation work at St James Church in New Brighton, has now joined BTP, combining the forces of two of the leading conservation practices in the North West. The shared network of clients and technical knowledge will give BTP the catalyst needed to compete at the highest level for conservation projects nationally.

Adrian is playing a key role in building BTP’s conservation portfolio and pioneering technological innovation in the conservation field to include the use of BIM and 3D modelling.

 The 56-year-old, who has more than 35 years’ experience in the sector, said he was delighted to be joining a “well-respected and renowned team.”

“I am naturally delighted to have joined BTP,” he said. “The practice is at the forefront in many areas of the industry, with an impressive track record working on historic buildings”.

 “I am very much looking forward to a successful future as part of the BTP family and feel confident I can add to the growing reputation the business has garnered in the years ahead.”

During his career, Adrian has overseen several major conservation projects across the North West, including Grade I-listed sites such as, Heaton Park in Greater Manchester, All Saints Church at Barton in Irwell, and the regeneration of the Grade II-listed Stanley Park in Liverpool.

Vicky Saunders, managing director at BTP, said Adrian’s arrival has “further strengthened” its conservation offering.

“Adrian brings with him a wealth of senior management and directorial experience.

“His entire career has been centred around conservation architecture

“With his expertise and leadership, Adrian will enable BTP to continue the development and growth of our practice.”

Established in 1947, Greater Manchester-based BTP is a leading architect in areas such as housing design, building reuse and conservation.

Recent projects include the design and delivery of 70 supported units across four sites in Manchester for people with diverse learning needs, and an extensive refurbishment project to the Grade I listed Victoria Law Courts in Birmingham City Centre.
