James Nicholls

As Managing Partner, James’ over-arching goals are to deliver SGP’s Vision, maintain the practice’s focus, and uphold its values. Mirroring his wide-ranging remit, he is involved with our Social Responsibility, Business Development, Logistics Sector, and Partner and Director Groups and is Chair of SGP’s Board.

With extensive experience in Masterplanning and the design and delivery of Commercial and Industrial schemes, James delights in being part of a great team delivering a diverse variety of projects and services. He takes great pride in being an Architect and Managing Partner, especially when certain people from his past gave him little chance of being either. He hopes this provides inspiration to others.

James’ passions revolve around his family who, he says, add perspective and inspiration. He loves watching football from the stands in N5, has a keen interest in walking and a passion for collecting vinyl despite rapidly running out of storage space!
