A Congleton architecture firm have won a national award.

ICI Architecture won in the 'Construction and Building Services Start-Up' Midlands category at the annual 'StartUp Awards National Series'.

Founder Jordan Kirkham (26) went down to a ceremony in Birmingham with his parents to find out he won.

"I was very surprised, there was other companies that were bigger or equally publicising a lot larger revenues," said Jordan.

"All companies had to be within the three year category mark, and all the other contenders had more staff than us too.

"But winning this award for ICI now means we can build even more credibility, and it shows to clients the fruits of our labour.

"We also now have a view of expanding, possibly taking on more Architectural Technologists to assist with new enquiries we are getting through.

"And there's now potential to hire more Admin Support as well.

"Thank you to my three current staff for their work in helping achieve this award."

Founded in November 2020, the architecture business design houses, malls, eateries and theme parks.

They have an office in Congleton on 3 Chapel Street. But also let their team work from home.

Jordan has many Cheshire clients, as well as ones from all over the world, both of which will increase now that ICI Architecture have won a national award.

A recent local project of the Congleton architecture firm includes new Indian restaurant Bombaye Junction, in Crewe Market Hall.

"We've completed 132 projects this year", added Jordan.

"For the next couple years, we're set to start a company which creates product placement in the metaverse, and hope to work with local manufacturers.

"I will also keep running our side business Designology Group which creates sustainable interior design for offices.

"I like being based in Grosvenor House in Congleton, I wanted something close to my home in Biddulph but not miles away.

"It felt like the right base for it, especially now with all the investment they are doing in the town centre.

"I often take clients for meetings in bars and restaurants across Congleton, which is great."

Jordan's new business is now entering two more national award categories, following this latest success.
