Meet
Our Team
Get to know the people driving our projects forward – planners, architects and masterplanners working together to shape places with purpose.

Employee Owned
At Spawforths, we are proud to be an Employee Owned Trust (EOT), meaning the business is held for the benefit of our employees. This model gives everyone a genuine stake in our success and a voice in shaping our future. It fosters long-term thinking, shared responsibility, and a strong, collaborative culture. We believe our people are our greatest asset—so alongside our EOT model, we’ve developed a dedicated People Strategy to support their wellbeing, development, and satisfaction. With generous benefits, a positive working environment, and a shared sense of purpose, we’re committed to helping our team thrive.
Planners
Our planning team brings together a wealth of expertise in development strategy, spatial planning, and stakeholder engagement.
Architects
Our architects blend creativity with commercial awareness, designing spaces that are distinctive, practical, and rooted in a deep understanding of place.
Masterplanners
Our masterplanners shape ambitious, sustainable visions for new communities – balancing creativity, policy insight, and deliverability at every scale.
