Following Locus's merger with Marrons, I have kept a similar role, with a developer led focus on sustainable and responsible development.In addition to actively pursuing clients and contracts, I am particularly concentrating on streamlining our reports to minimize irrelevant or superfluous information, and focus on the issues and impacts that are directly relevant to the project, and create a thorough, but hyper focused product for our clients. . My general day to day job has evolved from the background of report production to focussing on impacts and mitigation to heritage assets, including both archaeological remains and listed structures, as well as the complicated issues of setting.
