Andrew Parkin, Global head of Acoustics, Cundall said “Chris’s appointment is an important addition to Cundall, bringing a new dimension to the acoustics team and significantly enhancing our global reach. His vast experience and innovative approach to acoustic design will be a great asset to the Australian and Global team.

“Cundall has been delivering acoustics since 2010; it is an exciting time to expand into the Australian market and was the logical next step in our expansion”

Cundall has been established in Australia for over ten years, providing building services engineering, sustainable design and lighting design across all states.

Following this success, Cundall has made a strategic decision to expand this offering to the Australian market to add value to their existing clients and secure further work.

Chris said: “The opportunity to join such an innovative and dynamic consultancy is one that could not be missed. I am genuinely excited to join their Australian team and start working alongside their engineers.

“Andrew and his acoustic team have a great reputation for adding value in acoustic design - I am looking forward to working with them, sharing ideas and expanding this excellent reputation into Australia.”
