Richard is a partner in MEP engineering, with 39 years’ experience across the defence, manufacturing, commercial, private residential, later living and education sectors.

Richard began his career in MEP contracting before moving into consultancy. He draws on that hands-on experience when advising clients and project teams on MEP strategy, design governance and technical assurance, asking the right questions early and challenging assumptions where needed.

Richard brings rigour to the pre-construction and design stages, developing innovative, buildable solutions that balance technical requirements with programme, budget and regulation. He takes the same considered approach to leading the building services discipline, connecting mechanical, public health and electrical services to shape a coordinated design.

His leadership also extends to the Bristol office, where he is a member of the senior leadership team and sponsor of the People Pillar, strengthening inclusivity and collaboration across the office.
