Personnel
LANCE ROWELL - MANAGING DIRECTOR

Tensile structures place considerable demands on a company’s organisation due to the combination of custom one-off design with rapid sequenced assembly on site. Lance’s leadership is instrumental in ensuring that Architen Landrell fulfils its commitments to clients, with no exceptions.
ALEX HESLOP - HEAD OF DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Alex’s in-depth knowledge covers materials ranging from advanced PTFE composites, glass, carbon fibre and metals to canvasses, timber and silks. He spearheaded Architen’s achievements in creating beautifully detailed tensile architecture with a single-minded pursuit of perfection. In conjunction with universities and institutions, Alex directs a materials testing programme that continues to build Architen Landrell’s database on all aspects of membrane construction.
BRIAN NICHOLSON - SALES DIRECTOR

Brian traded his native Scotland for the Cotswold hills a couple of decades ago, but still enjoys striding off in the direction of the nearest peak when the weekend arrives.
CHRISTOPHER ROWELL - DIRECTOR

He joined Architen in 2003 as a member of the interiors department and set about integrating lighting into our installations. This has led to the development of a whole new division specialising in the installation of technical lighting. His extensive understanding of a wide range of architectural lighting products, along with his ability to foster good relationships with major manufacturers, makes Christopher a key part in the Architen team.
Christopher still misses the heart-stopping excitement of operating lighting for a live show!
