DB3 scoop ‘Architect of the Year’ Award at COMBA22
We are absolutely delighted to have been voted as the ‘Architect of the Year’ winner at the City of Manchester Business Awards 2022 (COMBA22) this month, having only recently won the ‘Architect of the Year’ Award in Birmingham!
BBC presenter and Downtown Manchester chair, Jacey Normand and DIB’s Political Editor, Jim Hancock hosted the awards and Sean Fenner from Kier Group presented the trophy to our team at the awards ceremony at Lowry Hotel. Staged by Downtown in Business COBBA22 saw over 240 of Manchester’s leading businesses and entrepreneurs come together for the annual gala dinner and also raise money for the charity We Love MCR.

The award is in recognition of our DB3 Manchester team’s hard work and achievements in the past 12 months and making a real mark in the city. In Manchester, DB3 Architecture and Design are involved in a number of large projects including a new high-rise residential scheme north of the city centre as well as an existing 376-apartment scheme in Salford called Bridgewater Wharf.
A little further afield, our team have recently been appointed on an industrial unit project and our Education team are currently working on the City of Wolverhampton College’s City Learning Quarter (CLQ) in the roles of Client Advisor and NEC Supervisor.
Examples of our commercial and retail work in Manchester include ongoing projects with Co-op as well as Trafford Shopping Centre’s two upcoming units – a new Hugo store and a Boss store.
June also saw the launch of our new DB3 Net Zero consultancy, which was marked by a volunteering day for Manchester City of Trees.
Our Growing Manchester Team

We relocated our DB3 Manchester studio to Arkwright House in the city centre last year, having originally been based for many years in Sale. This move has helped us to become more closely involved with organisations and businesses in Manchester and build on new as well as our existing relationships.
Just four months after the move, due to the significant growth of our team of architects and engineers, we saw a move to a larger suite within the building! Our studio continues to grow and we are currently on the lookout for talented Architects and Architectural Technologists as well as Engineers to join our colleagues in Manchester.
“It is a huge understatement to say how delighted we are to have been named ‘Architect of the Year’ in both Manchester and Birmingham. To receive this Award is such a great recognition of our recent achievements and hard work in both these cities. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who voted for us.”
