Thread Architects

We are delighted to be participating in the West Midlands Heritage Trust Annual CPD Day on 29 April.

Hosted at the Wolverhampton Arts Centre, this year’s event will explore the theme of Non-Designated Heritage Assets, bringing together professionals and community groups from across the sector.

Rachel and Andy will be sharing insights, inspiration, and practical approaches to sustaining our built heritage for future generations. Using examples from our practice from conserving historic fabric to introducing thoughtful contemporary interventions, we’ll explore how to honour the past while shaping spaces for the future - ensuring historic spaces remain relevant, functional, and valued for generations to come.

We look forward to connecting with fellow professionals and contributing to this important conversation. If you’re attending, do come and say hello.

WestMidlands ProfessionalDevelopment

Tom recently left the practice after six fantastic years with the team.

Tom joined us in 2020 as an apprentice in Partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, starting his Thread journey in the unusual circumstances of the first COVID lockdown. From day one, his positivity, curiosity, and willingness to get stuck in have made him a joy to work with. Qualifying as an Architect during his time at Thread, he has supported many of our clients with warmth and professionalism, always bringing a calm, friendly presence to every project.

He’s also been instrumental in shaping our online presence - a contribution that will continue to influence how we share our work and values.

It’s been a pleasure watching Tom grow, develop, and achieve so much. Although we’ll miss him, we’re incredibly proud of everything he’s accomplished and excited for what comes next.

Wishing you all the very best for the next chapter, Tom!
