Jane Duncan, RIBA President, expressed her delight at the generosity of the Wren Insurance Association which has enabled RIBA to support a further five students who will make a positive contribution to the profession.

Duncan added: “I have no doubt that this cohort will be as impressive and as creative as in previous years.”

Meanwhile, Chairman of Wren, David Stanford, said he was delighted that Daniel Tang, Nathan Su, Matthew Lucraft, Aidan Hermans and Jordan Green have been successful in winning the 2016 RIBA Wren Scolarships.

“The Wren Insurance Association is proud of its continuing sponsorship of these Scholarships, now in its 4th year, which will provide significant support for this group of excellent students in their final year at university, both in financial terms and by the mentoring offered by its Members who come from 58 of the UK’s leading architectural practices,” Stanford commented.
