We're still firmly focused on balancing technical precision, commercial reality and thoughtful, impactful design but wanted our new brand to be as straight talking as we are. Whittam Cox Architects tells you up front who we are and what we're here to do. We're real approachable people you can sit down and work with; architects committed to our craft and dedicated to design for over 45 years.
Our practice was founded in 1972 in Dronfield, North Derbyshire, by Jeff Whittam and Derek Cox. The partnership was later joined by Tim Cocker. It connected in 1985 with the Brighton firm of Cedric Ellis and Burt Clayton, under the name Whittam Cox Ellis Clayton. During the early 1990s the two companies separated and a new generation of ownership emerged with Alex Wall, Ashley Turner and James Kemp.
When they took over during the early 2000s, the practice became known as WCEC Architects. In 2014 the partnership was incorporated as WCEC Group Limited to enable the enlarged business to operate more effectively, with broader management and equity ownership.
