As we begin our next chapter, we welcome Hayley Poynter Fenning into her new role as Equity Partner of Playle & Partners LLP!

Looking back at Hayley’s career to date – we asked, what was her most unusual project? And what is Hayley best known for?  Read on to find out…

First project worked on 

Triangle Nursery School – this was a project for the London Borough of Lambeth for a single storey extension to a nursery school including a new children’s kitchen and landscaping/playground redevelopment.  

Funniest Playle & Partners moment

Getting lost on the 3 peaks!  We were at the top of Snowdon which was our last ‘peak’ when it started to rain and the fog descended.  We thought we were doing really well making it down the mountain safely… until we were halfway down and realised we had gone completely the wrong way!  Let’s just say the rest of the team weren’t best pleased when they found out they needed to drive around half the mountain to rescue us…! 

Most unusual project 

Probably a new residential development that was on a private estate next to an active marina. There was discussion on partially draining the marina and relocating the boats! 

Most embarrassing moment at P&P

Getting locked in the toilet which ended up with the door being smashed in. Then getting locked in the toilet on site the next day! 

Best known for

Winning all the quizzes! I have been banned from entering…
