Experienced
Diverse,
Sincere

Having grown MBH over the last 30 years to the Multi-Office International Consultancy it is today, I believe success comes from my passion for helping great people create great things, through creating great relationships.

I’m a keen road cyclist and skier, often seen in the Surrey Hills or on the slopes of Chatel, with or without my trusty Airedales! In life, you can never have enough bikes, skis, or dogs.

Hello, I'm Jonny Richardson, Managing Director at MBH where I focus on strategic growth and building key relationships. I have a First-Class Honours degree in Building Surveying from London South Bank University. My primary expertise is in the Petrol Filling Station and Electrical Vehicle Charging sector.

When I’m away from the business, I have a passion for golf, health and fitness, rugby and spending time with friends and family.

I’m Julian, the Director at MBH Design Studio Ltd, where I have been employed since 2006. I’ve held many positions at MBH over the years, but my responsibilities are now focused on the growth and the operations of the South African office. My staff are integral to our success and that is where most of my focus lies, ensuring we are delivering quality every time.

Outside of business, I enjoy spending time with my young family, keeping fit and being outdoors with my dogs. Riding my scooter around town keeps me feeling young too.

Since joining the practice, I have worked across a wide range of projects from realising a client’s dream home to a big housing scheme, retail, mixed use development and listed buildings, through to school and leisure projects. Currently I’m overseeing the residential and mixed-use side of projects.

I received my Bachelor of Architecture from India in 2001 and moved to the UK in 2004 to gain international experience. Prior to joining MBH, I accumulated a significant amount of experience in a wide range of design disciplines both in the UK and India.

In 2014 I became a director and am now responsible for the management and supervision of MBH’s satellite office in India, the conception of which was my own innovative idea to help the efficiency of the practice.

Here is my light-hearted take on my spare time interests:
“Your friendly neighbourhood shuttlecock smasher, tennis enthusiast and a keen chess player. Cricketer by heart. Game, set, laugh!”

I joined MBH in 2010 from one of the largest construction consultancies in the world where I was an architectural designer for the building surveying teams based in Northwest England.

I became a Director in May 2014.

I am an accomplished Architectural Designer with expertise in design solutions and delivery and a passion for perfection. I’m a specialist in construction detailing, co- ordination, and project management. My experience covers a vast range of sectors including Commercial, Residential, Industrial, Education, Agriculture, Healthcare, Retail, Religious and Hospitality.

I have achieved Chartered Membership from the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists and am also an Affiliate Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. In May 2014 I became a Director at MBH.

In addition to being a Director, I am also the Practice Manager, responsible for the smooth running of the office and for the development and training of our staff, so that our capability to deliver projects on time and to a high quality is maintained.

My hobbies are travelling and exploring new restaurants and fun places with my son.

I’m a Director at MBH, where I use my 35+ years of experience, to run the Shell Account with my Team and help with many other projects, including other PFS clients, individual developers, and ‘one-off’ specials, along with management responsibilities.

At home I’m married to my lovely wife, with 3 grown up children and 5 grandchildren. All of which keep me busy!

I also enjoy socialising with friends, going to a wide variety of concerts, playing golf and darts, reffing for my football club and walking our dog, Betty. In any ‘spare-time’ we like to fit in some travel & holidays - long / short, weekends and city trips.

I am an Associate Director based in our Surrey office and have over 20 years’ experience of delivering architectural projects. With an eye for detail and keenness to coordinate all design aspects of a project, I enjoy the myriad layers of design and technological challenges with each project and believes in adding value to them.

Together with my expertise of large scale PFS projects and associated EV installations and retail, I’ve overseen many successful projects at MBH, operating within tight timescales and to the satisfaction of clients.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and am a National Trust supporter.

I’m an old-school Architectural and Civils designer involved in building multiple Petrol Filling Stations over the years – an expert in this field. More recently I’m designing in the wonderful world of EV charging hubs.

My weekends are spent supporting my local football club, Woking FC.

Hi, I'm Anusha, an Assistant Quantity Surveyor who manages and helps with the accounts for our EV projects. In addition to my work as a Quantity Surveyor, I run the 'Fun Fact Friday' email campaign, which has become a highlight of the week for many of my colleagues. This campaign allows me to share interesting and entertaining facts with my coworkers to brighten their day and foster a sense of community within the workplace.

When I'm not working, I enjoy playing games, watching anime, and reading. These hobbies keep me energized and inspired, and I'm always on the lookout for new recommendations to explore (so do let me know!). Whether I'm solving puzzles, immersing myself in a new anime series, or diving into a good book, I'm always learning something new.

My name is Ashley Murray. I’m originally from Cape Town, South Africa and now reside in the United Kingdom, working as an Architectural Technician and Project Runner. I’m a husband to a gorgeous wife and father to two beautiful daughters. I am a hoarder according to my wife; however, I call it collecting - 1980’s BMX bicycles, scaled model cars and Music (Hip Hop) is what I am passionate about.

Learning and sharing is a large part of my lifestyle, whereby I am curious to always understand the unknown, and once known I tend to pass on the learnings to colleagues at no extra cost – a Robin Hood of sorts. I am also enthusiastic about Design and always eager to watch how Design becomes a reality, therefore suiting my current role at MBH.

Previously I worked at executive level within two major construction businesses but over the last 2 years of my 40-year career, I have turned my hand to project managing the delivery phase of a Super-Fast Electric Vehicle Charger Roll Out Programme for major fuel retailer, MFG. It is all about delivering our client’s vision with accuracy and pace and I bring energy, commitment, experience, humour, and a little colour to this fast-moving environment. I have delivered over 70 individual projects over the last 2 years and am a key member in our client’s team.

I understand the importance of relationships and am equally comfortable operating at Client Director level as I am with the team delivering on the ground.

My interests include mountain biking, motor racing, outdoor cooking, travelling and football and I also brew cider.

Hi, I am Elisa Scolaro, and I have been part of the MBH team for the last four years.

As an ARB Architect, I am responsible for providing design support at every RIBA stage, ensuring the completion of CAD drawings for feasibility schemes, submission of Planning and Building Regulations applications, and the preparation of technical working drawings and construction information to meet client’s expectation. 

I also have the privilege of working alongside senior colleagues in producing health and safety documents, I act as the Principal Designer under CDM 2015.

I am known to deliver projects at a faster pace as I've consistently beaten deadlines and received glowing feedback from our clients and colleagues.

In my spare time, I like spending as much time as possible outdoors, enjoying a drink in pub gardens or going for long walks or a jog, where no building I come across is immune to my day-dreamy thoughts!

I like to consider myself an amateur painter, colour and arts make me feel relaxed, so if it’s a rainy day you know where to find me.

I love travelling and eating typical food, but nothing can’t beat my Italian cuisine.

I'm Elliott, a Project Manager at MBH Ltd. I've been working here since 2022, and I'm responsible for managing EV Charger installation projects from start to finish. I enjoy the challenge of planning and scheduling complex projects.

I started my career as an apprentice Electro-Mechanical Engineer at Heathrow Airport. In that role, I gained valuable experience in Project management, Asset management, and Stakeholder engagement.

I'm excited to continue working on EV Charger projects that will help to make the UK a more sustainable place.

In my spare time, I enjoy rock climbing, motorcycle riding, gaming, and cycling.

I am a Project Manager located in the Glasgow office and responsible for all stages of Northern projects. In my current role I have delivered new-to-industry service stations, EV charging hubs, extensions for food offering, full shop refits and 278 works.

I have a background in industrial/residential construction project management (consultant, client and principal contractor based), manufacturing engineering, facilities management, and finance. I am an enthusiastic, confident and detail orientated individual with a track record of being able to communicate across all levels and who loves a challenge in both work and personal life.

I am a family man who is a qualified ski instructor and enjoys snowboarding and teaching my kids. As an avid fitness enthusiast who enjoys weight training and running, I’ve competed in events from Tough Mudder to local strength events. I love gardening and enjoy audio books and coffee on long morning drives to sites.

My Position at MBH is a Trainee Architectural technician, assisting Jonny Newel with PFS Developments. I am starting my Architectural technician course at London South Bank this September. Throughout my early years of secondary school, I gained a real intrigue in architecture and CAD. After working at a Steel detailer for 8 months I secured a placement at MBH.

In my free time I enjoy playing football, mountain biking and attending classic car meets.

Hi, my name is Johnny, also known as ‘Little Johnny or JN’. I recently qualified as an Architectural Technologist at London South Bank University. I project manage both MFG and Teamsport Go Karting projects in the UK and in Europe.

When I’m not on site, you will find me exploring the country in a Land Rover Defender and wild camping in a roof tent. From a young age, when I started mountain biking, I’ve always loved the outdoors. More recently I found the love for paddleboarding.

I’m Kelly and I’m MBH’s Administrator. I have a variety of responsibilities within my role, anything from invoicing our clients to booking flights for staff meetings and generally making sure cupboards are stocked with any supplies that are needed.

I enjoy long walks with my family and our little dog, as well as days out with family and friends. My greatest achievements in life are my four amazing children who I adore every day and my two little bonuses, my Grandchildren, my world!

My biggest love is kindness – we are all in this together!

Hello, my name is Madison. I am the Office Manager at MBH, and I oversee the administrative team along with keeping the office running smoothly.

When I’m not at work you can usually find me socialising with friends and family, exercising at the gym, going on long walks, listening to music and going to concerts. I am also bilingual and enjoy speaking Spanish when I can, along with travelling to different countries.

I began my career as an Architectural/CAD Technician and have over 20 years’ experience in Commercial, Residential, Education, Government, Petroleum and Retail Sectors. As a young single guy with a love for travel and adventure I moved to London, UK in 2004, where I continued in this role. While working for a few different companies I enjoyed the diversity London had to offer, as well as the international exposure. In 2008 I returned to South Africa where I continued in the same field for a few more years. Looking to be challenged along with having a knack for setting deadlines and objectives, I changed roles and became a Project Manager/Coordinator, which I’ve been in for 5+ years.

Recently I was offered an opportunity by MBH Design Studio Ltd to go back to the UK, which I’ve grabbed with open arms. I look forward to attending live football games, as well as feeding my travelling bug and making new memories with my family.

I joined MBH early 2021 in the middle of Covid as Financial Controller. I have overall oversight of the day-to-day finances and reporting responsibilities to the Board of Directors and our external accountant. The most rewarding part of my role is producing management accounts and ad hoc insights that inform business strategy and planning and support decision making at board level.

My hobbies include hiking and travel. Highlights have included spending New Year’s Eve weeks after the wall came down in East Berlin with a family I had started chatting with on a train, and experiencing village life and national festivals with families in rural China.

Originally from Cape Town, South Africa having recently relocated to Glasgow, Scotland, I work as a Project Manager to assist with all Northern UK sites. I started with MBH in April 2022 as an Architectural Technician prior to taking the jump and relocating to the UK in April 2023.

I am quite the avid sports fan, mainly rugby and all extreme sports. I am passionate about travelling, experiencing different cultures, environments and am always looking for a new challenge, hence why my hobbies are difficult to specify as they constantly change.

Blessed with a loving wife, son and daughter (who is due shortly at the time of writing this).
