We’re very pleased to welcome Juliet Barker, Julie Stewart, and Patrick Thompson to Studio Pacific’s shareholder group. Alongside increased holdings by Daryl Calder, Michael Davis, and Marcellus Lilley, these changes reflect our commitment to ensuring a smooth transition to the next generation of leadership and strengthening our wider ownership team.
We are delighted to announce an important evolution in Studio Pacific’s ownership structure, as we welcome three new shareholders – Principals Juliet Barker, Julie Stewart, and Patrick Thompson. All three play important roles in leading our projects and ensuring Studio Pacific’s ongoing success as an award-winning Practice. Juliet and Patrick also currently hold key Practice leadership roles in our business. The appointment of these three Principals as new shareholders reflects our commitment to fostering leadership that will guide the practice into the future.
In addition, we are also thrilled that three of our existing shareholders, Daryl Calder, Michael Davis, and Marcellus Lilley, have increased their holdings. Their deepened investment underscores a continued belief in the strength and vision of Studio Pacific.
