With heritage sites we often can’t rely on survey information, so we need to do almost a ‘ground truth’ and check it in reality ourselves, just to confirm all the information is correct.

1pm. Back at the studio a few of us gather over lunch. A fun casual studio vibe is a high priority for me. People and culture are a big part of the job, so one of the most important things as director is making sure that our people are top performing and happy, and that everyone has good and strong relationships with their managers.

I also want to ensure people have the chance for personal and professional growth. At the end of the day our team are ambassadors for our company and our brand and I want to make certain they want to work here.

2pm. This afternoon, like most afternoons, I’m in an impromptu workshop with one of our creative production teams. We have gathered a number of different people to pick apart a project, just making sure we are getting our most innovative thinking on it.

This collaboration and discussion is a big part of our culture – after we totally unpack a project we may go back to our client and tell them why part of our thinking has changed.

6pm. Back on the motorbike to my place where I head straight out for a swim or walk with the dog before dinner. Great way to end a day!
