Bio Notes:	S.B.T. was a large practice based in Guildford and London which later expanded into Glasgow and overseas. James H. Fisher joined the practice in England in 1963, becoming a partner in1968. When the firm decided to open a Glasgow office later in 1968, J.H.F. was the only partner interested in moving to Scotland. The office he opened was small, but soon developed an excellent reputation among shrewd commercial clients, who appreciated J.H.F.’s intellect, practicality and ability to produce soundly thought-out buildings, on time and within budget. Each member of the technical staff was encouraged to run his or her own projects, largely unaided apart from careful monitoring by J.H.F. In 1980, the firm employed around 15 people, but handled a very large percentage of Glasgow’s commercial work. It was well-respected and profitable, thanks to the skills and personality of J.H.F, aided by his carefully chosen staff. The Partners were J.A. Brownrigg, N.G.E. Turner, S. Cruickshank, F.C. Jepson, K. E. Gilham, F. P. Black, J. Holmes and J. H. Fisher. Consultants were A. H. Brown and P. E. Moloney Only J. H. Fisher was based in Glasgow.
