Gate & Bar Ltd. acquire Architectural firm ARC
Gate & Bar Ltd were formed in 2019 and became York’s fastest growing surveying firm in 2021. Since then, Gate & Bar have gone on to focus on the delivery of three main services – Surveying, Design and Project Management. Gate & Bar have expanded the team year on year and this latest acquisition is part of the continued success and growth of the business.
Gate & Bar are pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Architecturally Collaborated Design (ARC). The acquisition of ARC comes on the back of 4 consecutive years of strong growth.
“I am really pleased to announce the acquisition of ARC and bringing Chris into the team. This really bolsters the services that Gate & Bar offer, in particular the design element of our three core services – Surveying, Design and Project Management. Chris has integrated well into the team so far and has challenged us to engage new technologies and techniques. I am really excited to see this shape the future of Gate & Bar." Nathan Hughes
ARC will be fully integrated into Gate & Bar’s service offering and Chris Cook, Director of ARC, will be joining Gate & Bar as the Associate Director of Architecture. Chris will be instrumental in leading the business forward on architectural matters and championing the Design element of our 3 core services. This will vastly improve Gate & Bars architectural offering and implement 3D modelling, virtual reality and the use of AI in design.
The amalgamation of ARC and Chris into the Gate & Bar team brings with it vast experience in architectural design and a significant proven track record in both residential and commercial design, from feasibility and concept through to detailed construction design.
“This is a very exciting opportunity to bring my expertise, passion, core values and services of ARC to a well established brand. The Gate and Bar’s team are a friendly bunch who are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. The modern way in which Nathan operates the company, makes for a solid foundation to allow me to build upon the success of ARC within Gate and Bar. I’m excited to be a part of it and to drive architecture forward within the business”
