Since joining Wingates in 2022, the practice recognised Suter as a key architectural leader within their large format architecture team. His work with clients — including Foodstuffs and National Storage — is well regarded and Wingates say he is well respected by his team members, clients, and the wider market. The Wingates leadership team see his promotion to Principal as hugely exciting, providing clear direction and design excellence for this integral part of their business.
Chen’s move to Associate after two years with the business is hugely welcomed. Wingates say his contributions as a leader, designer, and valued team member have been significant, with his remit and project responsibilities successfully covering many of their sectors from large format retail to several key workplace interior projects.
As one of the practice’s young leaders, Carter has quickly made his mark and is seen as a gifted designer who has quickly established himself as a key member in the Tauranga and Bay of Plenty team says Wingates. His promotion to Associate is seen by Wingates as a reflection of his work to date and the clear potential he shows in his interactions and leadership on the projects he is delivering across the country,
“It’s a delight to announce the promotions of James, Victor, and Michael. They all have a strong Architectural focus and a team commitment to our clients, consultants, and construction companies. These three outstanding individuals have impressed me with their work ethic and “not-a-problem” can-do attitude. Congratulations and thank you for all your efforts, particularly over the last six months”.
– David Wingate (Managing Director).
