KNARESBOROUGH architectural practice Andrew Long Design has been acquired by CSM+ Architects.

Founder Andrew Long will continue to run the Knaresborough office with his present staff with access to Newcastle-based CSM’s technical resources and project management experience.

Partner Will Moses said: “We’ve been talking with Andrew and his staff for some months about the acquisition as their work is so similar to our own. We also have considerable experience in work to historical and listed buildings and were looking for a Yorkshire base from which we could expand.”
