Leeds and Loughborough-based Watson Batty Architects has announced a series of senior promotions as it approaches its 50th anniversary and continues to deliver strong growth across its commercial, living and learning sectors.

Robert Jagger, Phillippa Nall and Ben Pickersgill have been promoted to company directors, while John Nall and Rob Cundy step up to associate director.
