DRAFT - XMAS

DRAFT - In our final post of the year we want to say a massive thank you to our incredible team. Everyone has worked so hard this year and made the best of what has been a strange time to say the least. Though we’ve had to face 9 months and counting of extended physical separation through working from home, everyone has thrown themselves into the challenge and worked with good grace and good humour and a ‘can-do’ spirit.

Despite the difficulties, we’ve enjoyed working on a range of fantastic projects from Langside Halls in Glasgow to Ulster Museum in Belfast and Museum fur Franken in Marienberg, Germany. We have navigated the new challenges of working on site in 2020 with our teams on the Scottish National Galleries in Edinburgh and at George Street in Glasgow as well as others. Successes this year included winning our first new work from an online interview process in the first lockdown, and though many of the industry awards have been postponed, several did go ahead resulting in a number of uplifting award wins to end the year. We were particularly delighted to see Aberdeen Art Gallery recognised with the judges Supreme Award at this year’s GIA online ceremony. A testament to the hard work and vision of the whole team.

Although times have been tough, it’s been another successful year working with our dedicated clients and consultant teams – we’re lucky to work with some amazing people who’ve all pulled together this year to meet the challenges brought by the pandemic head on. It has been inspirational to watch the creative community come together this year.

So, Happy New Year everyone, and while putting 2020 behind us we are embracing 2021 and a lot of rewarding things on the horizon. Next year will see the completion of some projects close to our hearts including Greenock Health and Care Centre and David Livingstone Birthplace. We are also planning some exciting developments at Hoskins Architects and look forward to sharing this with you as we go through the year.

This year, as for most, we were unable to enjoy our normal, always eagerly awaited festive celebrations. However, carrying forth the attitude we developed earlier in the year we didn’t let that get in the way of coming together and sharing some social time. Everyone received a small package of delicious treats to enjoy as we undertook the obligatory (but great fun) Zoom activities. Thank you to everyone that put so much effort into making this, and all the other social interactions throughout the year, happen.
