As we begin our next chapter, we welcome Liam Clench into his new role as Partner of Playle & Partners LLP!
Looking back at Liam’s career to date – we asked, what was Liam’s most unusual project? And funniest moment at Playle & Partners? Read on to find out…
Funniest Playle & Partners moment
When we met at London Bridge before heading the Medieval Banquet for our Christmas meal. All in full costume amongst the city commuters, rounded off with Jon Badcock turning up in his homemade knight costume involving a lot of tin foil and cereal boxes!
Most unusual project
Probably my current one where we are converting a listed Victorian WC building into a Café.
What was the first project you worked on?
A Child Protection Unit in Camberwell which leads onto my most embarrassing moment…
Most embarrassing moment
I think it was about my third day and my first external meeting. It was in a plush office overlooking the River Thames. At the end of the meeting, I wandered to the window to look down the river but didn’t spot the secondary glazing and gave it an enormous head butt which left an imprint on the perspex sheet. Everyone shot round to look, and then laughed.
Best known for
Being the resident Quiz Master & my love of BBQs!
