Inside Bailey Partnership – Growth, Culture & Leadership with Giles Blight
Get ready for a deep dive into leadership, growth, and the future of the built environment. In this episode, we sit down with Giles Blight, Executive Director at Bailey Partnership, whose career journey doesn’t follow the ‘traditional’ route to becoming an Architect.
From tracing drawings during work experience (and hating it), to discussing his passion through 3D design, to now leading a 50-strong architecture team within a 200-person multidisciplinary consultancy. Giles’ story is full of honesty and serious insight.
We break down:
– How Bailey Partnership grew from 11 architectural staff to 58
– What a truly multidisciplinary approach looks like in practice
– Why 75% of their work is repeat business
– The ‘family ethos’ that keeps their culture strong
– How they win work, build teams, and train future leaders
If you’re into architecture, engineering, leadership, built environment careers, or you love a good story about growth and purpose – this isn’t one to miss!
