Training feedback
'Jerry Spencer has so far been commissioned to give advice to Eden District Council on two major projects and on both occasions he has displayed a deep understanding of what constitutes ‘good design’ in the local context, establishing clear principles and providing high quality, and practical design advice. For these two projects he has become a key member of our Design Team and is most effective when also involved in negotiating design solutions with developers.'
