We are committed to maintaining and developing a strong, responsive and well trained team of professionals, who understand our clients’ needs, take pride in our Practice and who will carry the business forward into the future. We have a team of highly skilled designers and administrators available to meet clients’ needs.
Randall Thorp was established in 1986 by Edward Thorp and Pauline Randall. Both Edward and Pauline had previously worked as landscape architects for Greater Manchester Council. Dick Longdin joined the practice in 1989 and became a partner in 1996. Lindsay Cordall joined in 2003 and became a partner in 2010. In 2011 Edward retired as a partner but continues to work for the partnership as a consultant.
Our team has now expanded to include other chartered landscape architects, landscape assistants, graduates, technicians and administrators with a range of skills and expertise to assist our clients in the creation of sustainable, high quality, robust landscapes.
We were the first landscape practice to achieve Investors In People status and we focus on developing both quality and breadth of team skills. By expanding our team’s skills base we are able to offer our clients a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist them with their projects.
The three partners are very much part of the team. They provide direct input to clients’ projects, acting as design facilitators, team co-ordinators, project managers and overseeing quality control.
