Lindsay Urquhart, BA(Hons) DipArch, RIBA

Founder

Before founding Bespoke in 2004 Lindsay worked as an Architect for practices including: Wilkinson Eyre, Pringle Brandon and Avery Associates in London and Denton Corker Marshall Architects in Hong Kong and Sydney. After deciding to move into recruitment, she spent several years in a boutique agency recruiting for some of the UK's leading design and architecture practices. Here, she noticed that agencies were increasingly moving toward a web-based service with fewer applicants being given the opportunity to meet their agents in person. Lindsay wanted to offer an alternative approach and Bespoke is the result.
