Deborah Stratton (1955 - 2009)

Deborah Stratton co-founded Stratton & Reekie with university soul mate Amanda in 1985 after a four-year stint at multidisciplinary design firm YRM where she set up and developed what is believed to be the UK's first in-house PR department for an architectural practice.

After a brave fight, Deborah Stratton died in November 2009 after a long illness.
