Bracewell, part of the Global (formerly Global Energy Group), has acquired group Halesowen-based Gould Singleton Architects as it targets larger projects UK-wide.

All staff and management are expected to be retained and the companies will continue to operate under their existing Bracewell and Gould Singleton Architects brands.

David Keith senior partner of Bracewell, which was itself only taken over by Global last year, said: “As long term admirers of Gould Singleton Architects – and Stephen Cox and fellow director Peter Icke – myself and fellow Bracewell senior partner, Amanda MacRitchie, are thrilled to bring together these two long-established practices. While we will both continue to operate individually under our strong and recognised brands, servicing clients in our key markets, the scaling up of our resources this investment brings will allow the enlarged entity to work closely together to grow and explore bigger opportunities, which is really exciting for us all.

“Since joining the Global portfolio, we have seen first-hand the power of being supported by – and benefitting from the synergies and opportunities that come with being part of – a larger group.”

Gould Singleton director Stephen Cox said: “Having previously worked closely with other companies in the Global portfolio, we are excited to join together with David Keith, Amanda MacRitchie and their team to explore new markets and deliver bigger projects together.

“This really is a meeting of minds and a great fit, with the combining of our resources, capabilities and geographical reach allowing us to work with existing and new clients to deliver major commercial and residential projects right across the UK.

“With Global’s reputation for developing talent and future leaders, the whole team at Gould Singleton are excited for the opportunities that this new partnership will bring, both individually and as a company.”
