JO HODSON

Director and Principal Architect

Jo is the founder of Mother Architects and has 30+ years experience in the business, with 20 years spent as Principle architect at Hodson Architects - so she knows a thing or two.

Jo is RIBA and ARB registered and has been an external examiner at Sheffield, Huddersfield and Nottingham Universities as well as teaching at Leeds Becket and Sheffield Hallam.

Jo produces all of the design options, planning drawings, building regulation work and feasibility plans (amongst loads of other stuff) for Mother. Her experience ranges from managing 400+ unit sites down to working on the coal face having renovated, extended and adapted multiple homes over the years with her family.

SAM MARRIOTT

Managing Director

Sam is qualified in Industrial Design but transferred his skill set to Architectural and Project Management work almost immediately. It wasn't a huge leap given he was basically brought up on building sites (his family owning a building firm).

Sam produces plans, renderings and other visuals for Mother and also keeps things smooth during the planning process and on-site. He puts together most of the Design and Access statements and other documents such as feasibility, heritage assessments, planning statements and tender documents.
