Simon Kochanek
What attracted me to Bligh Tanner was they actively seek interesting and varied projects—the projects others may not take on because they're too hard or time consuming. One thing I think distinguishes us is the large number of senior staff for the size of the company. It gives us the flexibility to undertake a diversity of projects. That strong senior base and broad experience make all the difference.
Each division and every project are very closely managed. It's a unique dynamic that gives us a strong position in the marketplace. We have a diverse client base and a diverse range of projects. We enjoy strong relationships with leading architects and clients, working on innovative projects.
