Our History

Bill Curtin started his career as a “can lad” on site, later becoming a lecturer in building and design at Brixton College in London and then following that at the “College of Knowledge” in Liverpool.

His desire not only to create and share knowledge, but to put theory into practice, led him to establish W. G. Curtin & Partners in 1960. Initially working from his back bedroom, he, along with some of his former students, set up our office on Rodney Street, Liverpool.

Bill was always passionate about his work and the industry, often outspoken and sometimes anti-establishment in his views. His fundamental principles were to share knowledge, nurturing and supporting his staff to reach their full potential.

Several of our present directors and senior members of staff worked with Bill and they still carry these values with them. So, his legacy continues through our team and across the national offices we have today.
