I studied chemical engineering at Leeds University, followed by a Master’s at Imperial College London. I loved the city so much I ended up staying! However, my interest lay in buildings, and I became involved in building services (initially in thermal modelling of buildings) prior to joining Cundall. I am currently a member of the Technical Affairs committee of the British Council of Offices (BCO) and have been involved in a variety of BCO publications, seminars and conferences.
Creativity through engineering
I enjoy pushing boundaries when we can and was involved in two of the UK's first large-scale, naturally ventilated offices (Longmans HQ Harlow, and Inland Revenue in Durrington on Sea). Both of these were immensely successful, award-winning projects.
Collaboration
I am never happier than when I’m involved in early concept meetings with other designers, establishing the best solutions for clients. I have relished being involved in many buildings for British Airways, Vodafone and other blue-chip companies, as well as working with most of the major developers throughout my career.
