Glayne is a Chartered Architectural Technologist, Director and Shareholder for the South West Design practice known as LHC Design and heads up the Cornwall studio based in Liskeard. The Practice offers five core services of architecture, urban design, landscape, interiors, and graphics.
Glayne joined in 1992 as a junior architectural technologist where she completed her HNC in Building Studies whilst being mentored at work. Hard work and aptitude saw her potential recognised and in 2002 her efforts resulted in winning the business section of ‘Plymouth Women of Achievement’. This was a springboard for her career and led to her being invited onto the board as a Director in 2007. Finally in 2018, some 26 years after starting with the Practice, she proudly became a shareholder.
Over the years Glayne has worked in many sectors including education, commercial, retail, defence and residential. She is passionate about building design and strives to realise a client’s requirements.
In 2016 her numerous project achievements were recognised when she won The European Women in Construction & Engineering Awards ‘Best Woman Architectural Technologist’ category and in 2020 was jointly presented alongside SWWIC, The Michelmores ‘John Laurence Special Contribution Award’. In December 2023 she was delighted to be announced as the winner of the ‘Property & Construction’ category in The West Country Women Awards.
Glayne has been involved with SWWIC for more years than she cares to mention and held the Chair role for some 6 years. She truly believes that this organisation can give an excellent bed for female development within the construction industry and remains in an advisory role on the committee as SWWIC moves forward.
Outside of work, field hockey is her passion! Having played the sport for some 35 years she now takes on a different role with umpiring. In doing so, she decided to see how far she could go in the world of officiating. In 2020 she gained her Level 2 status and quickly followed this up in 2021 when she achieved her Level 3 umpiring award and now officiates National League hockey travelling across the Country.
