Robert Walder, commercial director at Quattro, who has just seen the firm’s re-design of the city’s Shire Hall win a national award for excellence, said: ‘We are very, very proud of what is happening in the city.
‘Regeneration is creating a buzz – there is so much inspiring development in and around the city. It is sending out a positive message. Gloucester is a great place to live and work.
‘When people see things happening and a council that is pro-active – it attracts more investment – and that is what is happening here.’
Nigel Eckersall, a senior architect for the firm and who brings international experience to the Quattro team’s eclectic skillset, said: ‘There is a lot of chatter by people who want to come to the city. That will bring jobs and employment.’
