What Powers Creativity? The relationship between Patron, inspiration and  problem solving is at the heart of some of the worlds most incredible  creative endeavours.   Winch Design has built a career taking imagination and partnering  craftspeople who know how to make it possible.  
Join us for a discussion on the role of patronage in supporting the  crafts that all started in the Yacht building industry and did not stop  there.  Andrew Winch’s love of yachts was ignited in childhood, during long  summers spent sailing the Solent in his father’s 42ft (12m) Beneteau. He  completed a degree in 3D Design at Kingston College of Art, and then  went on to gain experience as a skipper in the Caribbean, followed by an  apprenticeship for acclaimed yacht designer, Jon Bannenberg. His love  of yachts would persist through adulthood and inform his entire life’s  work, leading him and his wife Jane, as designer and company manager, to  establish Winch Design in 1986.   
In the three decades since Winch Design was established, the business  has grown exponentially. The architecture portfolio spans interiors,  exteriors, chateaux, beach villas and mountain retreats and the yachts  and aviation departments have produced sailing yachts, motor yachts and  aircraft ranging from helicopters to the first-ever private Boeing 787/9  Dreamliner.  In that time Winch Design has won over 30 prestigious design awards and  come to be recognised as one of the leading international design studios  in the world.
