About Me
Joshua Maddison
Chartered Architect
BAHon - MArch - PG Dip
I am a RIBA chartered Architect with over 10 years of experience working in the architectural sector. Having graduated from The University of Lincoln for the third time I am now a fully qualified, registered and chartered architect.
I have a passion for design and all things creative with specialist knowledge in the residential and educational sectors. During my career I have worked in every sector and been involved in a multitude of interesting and complex projects through all stages of the RIBA plan of work.
I am currently chair of the RIBA Gloucestershire and have been using the platform to promote and support architecture locally and to help foster the emerging architectural student body.
Outside of being an architect I have a passion for adventure & creativity. I am often inventing interesting but difficult challenges for myself, usually to be undertaken on my bike. I use these challenges to raise vital funds for charities that I have personal links to and volunteer for.

BDA
Volunteer Ambassador
As part of the British Dyslexia Association, I help to raise awareness surrounding dyslexia. The goal is to create a unified voice to get people talking and listening whilst assisting with marketing and fundraising campaigns through sponsorship of some of my many cycling adventures.
Fundraising
Charity Challenges
Every year I try to undertake some truly mammoth challenges all in the name of charity to raise vital funds and awareness for good causes. Just recently I partook in Mission 48:1000 which saw me attempt to cycle 1000km in 48 hours for Meningitis Now. I also cycled from Hollyhead to Bristol in a day for Children with Cancer UK & partook in the EFOD cycling challenge across some very large Welsh mountains.
