Since joining Keppie in 1997, Graham has gained considerable experience in all aspects of Health and Wellbeing design from strategic business cases and option appraisals to post completion evaluation.

He works closely with Clients and stakeholders to orchestrate the resources of Keppie to translate NHS and private sector requirements into high quality, affordable design solutions.  Graham has also worked as a technical advisor to a range of NHS Health Boards and Trusts.

Graham studied at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1987 (MA Hons) followed by a further post-graduate year in 1988 (Dip Arch).  As well as his general architectural education, Graham chose to focus on Conservation Architecture in his Diploma year.  This interest resulted in him working with the National Trust for Scotland immediately following his studies.

Graham leads the Health and Wellbeing strand at Keppie.  As well as setting strategic aims, he is responsible for co-ordinating the bidding, winning and execution of projects ranging from large-scale hospitals to smaller primary and community care jobs.  A Director since 2003, he has been involved in all the major healthcare procurement routes and partnering relationships including Frameworks Scotland, ProCure21, NHS LIFT, hub, PFI/PPP and other more traditional forms of contract.

Part of Graham"s role is to take an overview of the Keppie-wide Health and Wellbeing experience and skillset and ensure that the most appropriate people are working on a project regardless of its location.  He works closely with the heads of our Learning, Working and Living strands to ensure that all Keppie"s Clients benefit from the widest range of skills and experience.

Graham says:

"We focus on creating the best possible environment for all the buildings" users; patients, staff and visitors.  The mix of skills and experience we have within Keppie allow us to set our ambitions at the highest level, regardless of the functional content or complexities of the project."
