An English sculptor, William Mitchell is an artist and designer recognised for his use of colour, shape and texture in exciting combinations.

The Chipperfield practice has a special reputation for public space and museums. Recent work has also included refurbishment and even industrial design.

Long Service Awards and Certificates
One initiative that we are borrowing from our European colleagues in BIBM is to recognise long service in the precast industry. Framed A3 long-service award certificates for continuous service over 10, 20 and 25 years are available anytime that a member nominates employees who have reached such milestones, and can be backdated to the start of the year.
