Rider Levett Bucknall A Portrait documents sixty-five significant aspects of the company's history during the last 225 years. They are not just the record of a successful practice. They illustrate its contribution to cultural, economic, industrial, social and technological growth through the consistent and reliable delivery of projects. They also record the pivotal role played by staff and the loyalty and long-term commitment of Rider Levett Bucknall clients.
In telling the story of two and a quarter centuries in the history of our practice, this portrait pays tribute to the wisdom and fortitude of leaders such as David Anthony Bailey, David Bucknall, Henry Cooper, John Rider Hunt, Dennis Levett and Harry Wexler. It also pays tribute to sixty-five staff members who celebrate more than twenty-five years of service to the practice in 2010 and in particular the Managing Directors, past and present, who have led us on this journey. High morale and professionalism and high skill levels among more than 2,500 people in more than 100 offices across the world is a product of their management and support.
