Our Team

Our team is led by Simon Marson, a partner with a wealth of experience in the architectural industry. Simon holds both a BSc. (Hons) and a Bachelor of Architecture (Distinction) degree from the University of Wales. He has spent a considerable part of his career working in California before joining a pioneering UK construction company, which honed his commercial and technical skills. Following a directorship with a Warwickshire-based architectural practice, Simon created Marson Architects in the Cotswolds, which he subsequently merged with Rathbone Taylor to form the current partnership of MRT Architects.
