Window-Seat
By: Callum Buckland
Callum has moved onto pastures new, but this was his bio when he did work with us, and very good it is too: Callum has held an interest in architecture since he was young, and used to visit National Trust properties with his family. He studied Architecture at Plymouth University before moving back to his hometown of Portsmouth to work in a luxury independent hotel as both an Events Assistant and Duty Manager for almost 3 years. With a move to London at the start of 2019, Callum decided to mix his passion for architecture with the customer service and marketing skills he learnt in hospitality, and joined Build Team in early spring.
