Two new appointments for Castle’s senior design team

Sarah Sabin and Andrew Bowkett join the Hebburn-based construction and design firm as senior design lead architect and senior design lead, respectively.

Previously directors at Morpeth-based Seymour Architecture, Sabin and Bowkett will provide architectural and design management services.

Castle has employed 20 new people since the beginning of 2024, expanding its 186-person team to strengthen its MEP services proposition, which is complemented by its principal contractor role across the north of England and Scotland.

Recognising a gap in the market, Castle aims to be the go-to contractor for professional, technical, financially stable and experienced project delivery.

Managing director, Andrew Dawson, said: “We welcome Sarah and Andrew to the team. Having worked closely with them on a number of previous projects, we had been in discussions for a while and knew they would hit the ground running, greatly enhancing our new architectural offering.

“Sarah and Andrew’s specialist architectural skills sit perfectly with the strategic plan we have for the growth and increasing diversity of the support we offer clients. This consists of architectural, BIM, MEP and technical teams with design capability, a construction technical team with expertise in earthworks, ground improvement and drainage design and an estimating team with the experience to provide project costings quickly and accurately.”
