I am a chartered Structural & Civil Engineer with 31 years’ experience as a Designer, Manager, Director & Entrepreneur in the Built Environment & Construction industry. I co-founded Civic in 2012 with the clear aim of establishing a team that can have a meaningful positive environmental and socio-economic impact on the places, buildings and communities that we design.
Passionate about engineering and the contribution that the profession makes to the Built Environment, the Planet and the Economy, I enjoy helping to make great architecture and places, whilst being ever increasingly conscious of the need to be responsible with the planet’s natural resources.
I have had the pleasure of completing a substantial portfolio of completed, acclaimed projects across the UK of varying scales from city district regeneration, masterplans, to buildings of all types. These projects are cross sector - cultural, commercial, residential, educational, community, and include new buildings, the repair and re-purposing of older buildings.
Working across the technical and business operational teams within Civic on the main company Board, I advocate connecting teams for shared purpose, design creativity, problem solving and innovation – system thinking. I enjoy growing teams within Civic, and the integration of new complimentary businesses into our Team.
