Two years later he moved to Manchester where he studied at Manchester School of Art and was engaged on 'Public Works Contracts', and in 1921 he moved again, this time to London, to fulfil a similar post. He passed the qualifying exam there in December 1921 and was admitted ARIBA early the following year, his proposers being Hamilton Neil, John Watson and William Brown Whitie.
