    A Chartered Structural Engineer with over 30 years of diverse experience gained working in several sectors including; Retail, Commercial, Transport, Infrastructure, Rail and Aviation.

    Paul’s wide experience includes all stages of design and design development which has enabled him to successfully lead and manage the design for several multidisciplinary projects.

    Paul has specialised knowledge in the delivery of challenging projects for Network Rail, London Underground, airports and private developers including structural assessments, design of remedial works, building structures, bridges, retaining walls, masonry viaducts, stations and oversite developments.
