The built environment and building services industry experience which underpins my credentials as an expert witness has been gained working for major UK building services multi-disciplinary consultancy firms on a wide range of complex projects.

As an enthusiast on many topics, personable with good communication skills and a sense of humour, and a good listener, I consider that I am able to analyse complex design, installation and contractual issues quickly and clearly from which to set out and support my opinions in a balanced, clear and concise manner, both during consultation and on paper.
