The firm also won the Lord Mayor’s Special Regeneration Award for the collective contribution that Northern Print and Woods Pottery have made to the Ouseburn area, Newcastle’s thriving cultural quarter. MGA Director, Tim Mosedale, is delighted with the outcome:

“To win one of the Lord Mayor’s Awards is a great achievement – but winning four is absolutely fantastic, and we were thrilled when the Council informed us of the good news. It’s very satisfying to see the projects we’ve worked on have made such a difference, and we’re looking forward to playing a part in many more key developments in the future.”

The Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Councillor Peter Arnold said:  ”With strong competition from internationally renowned practices, the 2007 Lord Mayor Design Awards are an acknowledgement and celebration of the developments which have taken place in the city over the last two years.  All the winners should be congratulated for succeeding in adding a vibrancy and vitality to the city making Newcastle a more attractive city for us all.’’
