Mr Brown is a consultant to GMW Architects where he was a senior design partner from 1991 to 2009.

Mr Brown said ‘I am honoured to have been elected President of the ACA and I will work to ensure that the ACA continues to raise awareness of the profession and promote best practice. During his four years as President Brian Waters has achieved a great deal and maintained a high profile for the ACA and I intend to continue where he has left of with issues such as fee scales and the role of the architect as well as promoting new ways to maintain the ACA as an essential support to the profession, especially in these difficult times’.
