Swanbury Penglase is pleased to announce that Justin Carter has been appointed as a Director, joining Steve, Andrew P, Elizabeth, Wayne, Simon and Andrew K in the leadership of the practice.

Fittingly, Justin takes up this new role in the year that he celebrated his 20 year anniversary at Swanbury Penglase. This elevation is in recognition of his commitment to Swanbury Penglase and capabilities as an architect and leader.
 
On his appointment Justin says “I reflect gratefully on the opportunities and support Swanbury Penglase has given me to pursue and achieve my professional goals.
 
After taking a chance on me as a graduate straight out of university, Swanbury Penglase provided broad project experience and mentoring which allowed me to achieve my architectural registration, but more importantly, to develop the broad range of skills required to be a competent and professional architect. Throughout, Swanbury Penglase has assisted my development as a person and leader, most notably the opportunity to share in the management responsibility of the Melbourne Office and later by my appointment as Associate Director. Swanbury Penglase has instilled in me a commitment to high-quality client-focused design outcomes, an ethos that has led to many valued client relationships.
 
Having recently marked my 20-year anniversary with the firm, I am highly cognisant of the contribution that Swanbury Penglase and our clients have played in my development both professionally and personally. Thank you to the Directors, staff and clients, past and present, who have shared my journey from graduate to Director.
 
As Director, I look forward to supporting our next wave of graduates and developing professionals by providing mentorship and encouragement to achieve their professional goals”
 
The existing Directors welcome Justin to the group and are excited by the opportunities this presents for Justin to expand on his leadership role within the company and opportunities to build on his client relationships.
 
Justin works across a broad range of project sectors, providing services to government and private organisations, including education, commercial, tourism and recreation, retail and hospitality, multi-residential, aboriginal and community housing and land development.
