Darren Friston  

Darren joined Purcell in 2025 and is based in the Manchester Studio. He brings over 25 years’ experience in the technical delivery of major new build and conservation projects across the UK.

He has a strong portfolio of retail and leisure projects, but a particular expertise in the hospitality and hotel sectors, working closely with several luxury and premium brands to deliver keys in Edinburgh, Bath and Manchester. 

Now assisting with the technical delivery of several projects, including Haigh Hall and Sandbach School, Darren hopes to create greater capacity for Purcell to focus on future growth.
