A perfect Partnership
Helen often works together with her husband Lloyd (Lloyd Turner Ltd). Together, Helen's creative skills and Lloyd's engineering and construction skills make a unique combination and mean that they can offer a very broad range of services completely in-house.
Helen has designed a number of bespoke shelters as part of her work with Lloyd Turner Ltd including "The Reed Hide" for the Cotswold Water Park Trust, winning the Inourelement competition for an artist inspired bird hide. This has subsequently won a BTO award. They also worked as a team on the Seaton Jurassic Visitor Centre from early concept stage to fit-out of both internal and external exhibits. They often joke that if Helen can draw it then Lloyd can build it, allowing their imaginations to run wild.
