Winner: Shevaughn Rieck

Farrells

Rieck started at Farrells 10 years ago as an architectural assistant. She was promoted to partner within four years of becoming a qualified architect and with less than 10 years’ professional experience. She was project lead and contract administrator on the recently completed Chelsea Waterfront scheme in south-west London. Rieck has led the audit of all Farrells projects in terms of fire safety post-Grenfell, making recommendations to clients on how to minimise risk. She also developed the practice’s first five-year business plan and the models for monitoring performance. The plan is aimed at restabilising the cost base and rebalancing profit margins while managing  succession and controlled growth of 10% on turnover in the period.
