A big official edge WELCOME to Maya, founder of Pl A big official edge WELCOME to Maya, founder of Planner Bee VA Services, who joined team edge a few weeks ago as Executive Assistant!

Here are some fun facts about the lovely Maya:
🌟 I ran a marathon this year (and it was the hardest thing I have done).
🌟 At secondary school I won the award for "busiest bee". 
🌟 I'm really passionate about sustainability and the environment, I have several courses on carbon literacy and net zero and am always keen to learn more about how we can do our bit for the planet. 
🌟 Eight years after learning, I'm still a nervous driver - some things just don't click! 
🌟 Elephants are my favourite animal and visiting an elephant sanctuary in Thailand was one of the best days of my life. 
🌟 I'm vegetarian and enjoy making homemade tagliatelle with my pasta machine. 
🌟 At the end of a busy day, I love to get outside for a walk along the river to clear my head.

Welcome to the team Maya! 💖

Last Wednesday we hosted our first Graduate Open D Last Wednesday we hosted our first Graduate Open Day at our newly refurbished edge HQ in Thame, and what a magical day it was! We welcomed ten shortlisted candidates to come and meet the team and experience a day living life on the edge. The team were blown away by the enthusiasm shown by the graduates, getting stuck in to team working, presentations and problem solving activities. There was so much energy in the studio! A huge thank you to the candidates who took the time to join us for the day, and to the edge team for making the day possible. The open day process has really enriched the way in which we are looking to grow the team and we can’t wait to share more from the day soon!

Some more exciting people-news to kick off the wee Some more exciting people-news to kick off the week - a huge official edge WELCOME to Úna, who has joined team edge as Senior Associate in Bristol! 

Here are some fun facts about the lovely Úna: 

🌟 I am potter, and I have shown my work twice in the North Bristol Artists art trail of which I am a member. I love clay and am passionate about finding organic forms in the medium and embracing the unpredictability of it.
🌟 I love sourdough baking and regularly make bread, pizzas, focaccia and even sourdough cakes.
🌟 I am an avid cold-water swimmer and have swum all winter whatever the weather or the temperature (the colder the better). I am also very into wild swimming and spend most holidays searching out swim spots including hiking through waist high riverbeds to get to freezing waterfall pools. Snorkelling and (basic!) free diving to see what lies beneath is also a big passion of mine.
🌟 I enjoy macro photography and love to explore the outdoors to find flora to photograph in up close detail.  I also love to photograph people and value the importance of creating memories through the medium.
🌟 My first language is Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic), speaking it with my family is really important to me and I enjoy learning about the culture and languages of others. However, my husband is of Japanese ethnicity and after many years learning it I still struggle to speak it with any real confidence.
🌟 I love growing vegetables, sunflowers and other flowers too, somewhat limited by the size of our city centre garden but some day maybe I’ll have an allotment or more space.
🌟 With a long-term disability myself, access and inclusion is really important to me and this is something that inspires work that I do and I try to create momentum for change through sitting on the NLA Diverse Leaders Steering group.

Welcome to the team Úna! 💖

As seen on BBC2

In early 2018, BBC Two featured a two-part documentary entitled “The New Builds Are Coming: Battle in the Countryside”.

Hannah and Sarah, whilst working at another practice, both featured in the second episode. “The New Builds are Coming” was created by film makers to tell the story of housing development that isn’t often told in the media and to showcase the extensive work and the design process that happens “behind the scenes”.
