I am a Chartered Structural & Civil Engineer and Director in our Management Team, based in our Edinburgh Office. I am also a registered SER Certifier of Design.I have many years of experience in Structural and Civil Engineering, having progressed from trainee technician on the drawing board, to Chartered Structural Engineer. I have delivered many projects across the UK.My undergraduate training incorporated Architectural Studies as a specialism, and I am passionate about the structural engineering contribution towards great architecture.I have a keen desire in delivering on the Architects vision, whilst bringing a practical focus on buildability and cost-effectiveness.My favourite City is Barcelona, reflecting my architectural appreciations, and, probably unsurprisingly, my favourite building is the Barcelona Pavilion, by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe.My other keen personal interests are playing music, currently being in the long running process of recording the difficult first album !, and also Hillwalking and climbing in the Scottish Mountains having a great love of wild places.I also play golf quite badly, and often find myself in wilder places than I would wish !
