I am passionate about driving innovation and excellence in scaffold design and temporary works at AXS. As the former Technical Director and Designated Individual (DI) at 48.3 Scaffold Design, I provided the technical and training leadership necessary to maintain a high standard in temporary works design. I had the privilege of working with Alwyn Richards, the ‘godfather’ of scaffolding design. He helped me gain experience on a vast array of projects, including many historical structures such as the 100+ year-old Selby Swing Bridge. I’m a Reviewer and Mentor for the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), where I help make a positive impact in the construction industry. As a Contractor's Responsible Engineer (CRE) and active member of the NASC Technical Committee, I ensure the highest standards of safety and professionalism are upheld. Accolades include the Tony Chapman Medal for Best Member Professional Review candidate, ICE Regional Award for Best Graduating Student in BSc (Hons) Civil Engineering, and runner-up for the Baroness Platt of Writtle Award.
