DB3 2022 Values and Long Service Awards
Staff from DB3’s seven UK wide studios – Aberystwyth, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, London and Manchester – came together at our HQ in Leeds to celebrate our achievements, our values and to thank the many colleagues who have reached key long-service milestones.
For some of our staff, it was the first time they had met in person, after months and even years of collaborating via teams and phone calls. Our inaugural DB3 Staff Social was also an action-packed day with guided tours around Leeds, board games, meals and plenty of time to chat over a few drinks on our balcony.

DB3 2022 Values Awards
Our values reflect our vision of how we aim to enrich lives through our behaviour and our work. They capture the most important aspects of the world we operate in:
Leading Design
Championing Sustainability
Embracing Technology
Promoting Wellbeing
Nurturing Relationships
The DB3 Values Awards was an opportunity to recognise and thank those colleagues who, in the past year, have embodied our values the most.
Leading Design
Leading Design
John G from our DB3 Glasgow team was crowned with the “Leading Design” accolade for his inspiring creative work to date, including his designs for Lanark Grammar and Ballikinrain.
As architects, Leading Design is at the very core of what we do. We understand visual beauty and when given pieces to a problem we solve these in a visual format. By trying new things, we continue to learn and grow and lead the way in design.
Championing Sustainability
Championing Sustainability
Both Nassia R and Lydia H were awarded with “Championing Sustainability” trophies in recognition for their tireless efforts to improve the way we shape the world in which we work. Between them they have created inhouse Passivhaus training courses, which they have been delivering to colleagues at DB3. Both have also been instrumental in the launch of our new DB3 Net Zero services where they have teamed up with our Building Services Engineers to deliver the global ambitions for the industry.
Championing Sustainably and acknowledging our environmental social responsibility is very close to our hearts. As designers we are in a strong position to make a positive impact on the world we live in and with our work we strive improve environments for future generations.
Promoting Wellbeing
Promoting Wellbeing
Bhavika V from our DB3 London studio is the well-deserved winner of our “Promoting Wellbeing” DB3 Values Award. It is in thanks for all the activities that are centred around wellbeing that Bhavika organises and her ongoing passion to identify ways to enhance colleagues’ wellbeing.
Our Promoting wellbeing value places an emphasis to the importance of looking after each other as well as respect and care for each other’s welfare, safety and prosperity. At DB3 we also protect and enhance everyone’s wellbeing by encouraging an activity-based lifestyle, enjoyable studio life, continuous training commitment and benefits.
Embracing Technology
Embracing Technology
A clear winner for the “Embracing Technology” DB3 Values Award – for a second year running – is Bruce M from our Cardiff studio. Bruce continues to push BIM forward, leads our inhouse Technology Steering Group and strives to better the way we deliver our service through technology.
Our Embracing Technology value means that we at DB3 encourage new thinking and bold ideas to help us leverage technology to our benefit, which in turn delivers added value to our customers.
Nurturing Relationships
Nurturing Relationships
The winner of the “Nurturing Relationships” DB3 Values award 2022 is Jon M from our DB3 Leeds studio, who leads our Sports and Leisure team and over his career has built many strong and close working relationships with our clients in this sector.
Nurturing relationships is the foundation of our success as we strive to strengthen each and every connection we have, resulting in better quality outcomes. We pride ourselves with our trademark honest, open and straightforward approach that enables us to be authentic to who we are.
