September 2025

Hello,

I have a conflict of interest as an employee of WilkinsonEyre and I would like to propose some updates to the page to reflect the company accurately. I am following WP:COI by not directly editing the page. Please let me know if there any further information required to address these updates. Thank you for your help.

:1. Please replace the key architects title with Board of Directors, include additional locations and remove the significant works and honours in the existing infobox with updated company information:

Board of Directors:

Bosco Lam

Dominic Bettison

Giles Martin

Jim Eyre

Matthew Potter

Oliver Tyler

Paul Baker

Sam Wright

Sebastien Ricard

Stafford Critchlow

Yasmin Al-Ani Spence

Founded: 1983

Location: London, Hong Kong, Sydney, Paris

Website: www.wilkinsoneyre.com

Reason: This outlines practice information including how it is now represented by a body of board of directors enlisted above, and includes the office locations.

 Not done, The website is already listed in the information box and external links. The founded year as well. The locations are also there with the exception of Paris. If you can provide me with the link to the page on your website showing that Paris is a location I will add it. For the directors, the information box is reserved for key people such as founders, CEOs, etc. --CNMall41 (talk) 06:09, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

2. Please include a short description stating the company and its founders before the Background section:

WilkinsonEyre is an international architectural practice established by Chris Wilkinson and Jim Eyre.

Reason: This outlines verifiable and noteworthy information of the practice – including the founders Jim Eyre and Chris Wilkinson.

3. In the body of text please separate into two paragraphs; 1. the practice founding text and 2. the project references with these revisions:

From this: WilkinsonEyre is an international architecture practice based in London, England. In 1983 Chris Wilkinson founded Chris Wilkinson Architects, he partnered with Jim Eyre in 1987 and the practice was renamed WilkinsonEyre in 1999. The practice has led the completion of many high-profile projects such as Gateshead Millennium Bridge, Cooled Conservatories Gardens by the Bay, Oxford's Weston Library and Guangzhou International Finance Center.

Amend to this:

Originally founded by Chris Wilkinson in 1983 as Chris Wilkinson Architects, Jim Eyre joined as a partner in 1987 and the practice was renamed WilkinsonEyre in 1999. The firm transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) in 2023.

WilkinsonEyre has delivered numerous high-profile projects, including the Gateshead Millennium Bridge in the UK , the Weston Library in Oxford , Battersea Power Station in London , the Guangzhou International Finance Centre in China, the Cooled Conservatories at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, and the CIBC headquarters in Toronto, Canada .

Reason: This improves legibility and maintains the history and evolution of the practice and its current business structure. The edits to the projects are not promotional and accurately update the practice’s portfolio to include completed projects since the article was last edited. These projects are highly noteworthy and significant enough to be covered in mainstream media and prominent industry sources.

4. Please add a paragraph to read as the second paragraph moving the updated ‘delivered projects’ to read as the third paragraph:

Headquartered in London, WilkinsonEyre also has offices in Hong Kong (2010) and Sydney (2020), and maintains a business entity in Paris.

Reason: This accurately reports the evolution of the practice and its entities and expands on the infobox.

5. Please add a fourth paragraph:

The practice was notably the first practice to win both the RIBA’s Stirling Prize and the RIBA’s Lubetkin Prize for Best New International Building by a British architect in two consecutive years.

Reason: The inclusion of the commendations has been reported by RIBA, Dezeen and the Architects Journal and an important distinction for the practice, covered by prominent industry sources.

6. Please add a fifth paragraph highlighting current projects:

Current projects include the Citi Tower in Canary Wharf , HS2 Old Oak Common , the Tavern and Allen Stands at Lords , Hong Kong University Business School and New College at the University of St Andrews.

Reason: This accurately reports the current public projects the company is working on.
