For Paul Shepherd BM3 will walk 58km
Following last year’s hugely successful charity walk in Windsor, the BM3 team will be lacing up their walking boots once more for the very challenging Jurassic Coast walk. This year we’re very proud to be partnering with The British Heart Foundation. In 2023 our dear friend and colleague Paul Shepherd, aged 46, died suddenly of a heart attack whilst away on holiday with his wife Becky and two sons Jake and Archie. Paul was simply amazing and everyone at BM3 desperately misses him.
So we’re doing this for Paul, and along the way we want to raise awareness and lots and lots of money, so please dig deep for this very worthy cause.

Thank you.

Paul Shepherd
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear friend and colleague, Paul Shepherd. Paul joined BM3 as an Associate Director in 2011. His exceptional talent, ability to manage people and projects, together with his fastidious and personable nature, made the decision to promote Paul to Director an easy one, with him joining the Board of Directors in 2018.
Paul had the wonderful ability to touch the lives of everyone he met in such a positive way. For those of you who had the pleasure of working with Paul, you will have experienced his professionalism, his dry sense of humour and his dedication to his craft.
He will be sorely missed by all of his colleagues at BM3. He was a great man, a great architect and, most importantly, a great friend. Our love and thoughts are with his wife Becky and two sons Jacob and Archie.
