Head Of Design

Manchester Manchester, United Kingdom

- Present

Hello. We're Urban Splash. We were established in 1993 by the forward thinking, pioneering duo of Tom Bloxham MBE and Jonathan Falkingham MBE. With no business plan and big ideas to change disused and unloved buildings and sites around the country, Tom and Jonathan were told "it will never work"... That comment drove them to succeed and now, over 25 years later, we've got a great business and have notched up over 400 awards for our work in regeneration, architecture, design, place-making, marketing and business; we've built more than 5000 homes and 1.5m sq ft of workspaces - and a lot of great communities too. The best thing about Urban Splash..? Our people. 170 brilliant, passionate and driven individuals - each determined to keep bringing our developments to life. Our colleagues work out of our head office at Timber Wharf in Manchester, our live sites like Park Hill in Sheffield, Avro in Manchester, Port Loop in Birmingham and Lakeshore in Bristol, and in our very own modular House factory - yep, an actual factory in which we efficiently make brilliantly-designed Urban Splash Houses which are then delivered to sites for our lovely customers. We're 25 years into a brilliant, bold journey and we've still got lots more great work to do. Watch this space as we continue to tell our story...
