Owens said: “I would like to thank Derek for the outstanding contribution he has made to WOO over the years both in terms of delivering some of the great work we have produced and in shaping the management of the business as the practice has grown. I wish him well in his new venture and future endeavours.”
Prior to WOO Architects, Wilson worked as a director at his own company, Derek Wilson Architects Limited. He previously worked at HOK and Lobb Sports Architecture and also worked with Owens on the venues and branding strategy of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
