Director

Vincent Cochran

MCIAT

Vincent has over 20 years’ experience in the industry, focusing on delivering healthcare facilities since designing his first multi-million pound health centre some 15 years ago. He enjoys the challenges and opportunities for creative design solutions whether directed towards an intimate community practice or a large multi-occupancy health centre. His creative skills as a design lead and experience of on-site delivery sees him involved at all stages of a scheme – from developing conceptual designs with the client through to working out construction details with the contractor on site.

 When he’s not grappling with the latest BIM software at the office, you can find him precariously perched on a rocky outcrop on the coast, fishing rod in hand in a (hopeless) bid to improve on his personal best.
