Another long-standing member of the team, Stan has been with Gipping since 2006 and is a very well-respected and familiar craftsman on our sites. His outstanding carpentry skills have been put to very good use and have contributed to us winning a number of prestigious awards, most recently the RIBA Suffolk Craftsmanship Awards in 2024 for Amento, a contemporary new build home. He also worked at the award-winning Caldecote and New Bells Farmhouse projects. He has taught a number of Apprentice Carpenters, including Zac Land, who is now our Assistant QS. Under Stan’s tutelage, Zac also won several awards. Stan is now working at another heritage site, The Long Shop Museum in Leiston.
