Now as a team of 40+ (and counting), we’re a long way from the rented office space where it all began, yet reassuringly the company’s values remain at the heart of the business, which is a testament to us all.

I head up the Flood Risk and Drainage Team, comprising a mix of engineers, technical staff and apprentices. Together we undertake pre-planning, planning and reserved matters applications, focusing on drainage and flood risk, whilst also covering strategic highway design, external works packages and utilities appraisals across a broad range of sectors, with an overarching commitment to ensure the successful delivery of all schemes, for all clients.

I am heavily involved in AWP’s Investors in People focus group, which has successfully delivered improvements to our working environment and operational performance. We are proud to have achieved gold award for the second time running and we look forward to continuing this success into the future.

Outside the challenges of work I’m kept on my toes by my family, with three young children, and a lively Jack Russell. Thankfully, living inside the South Devon AONB helps to address the balance, with an abundance of beaches and estuaries to explore on foot (or paddleboard if I’m feeling brave). I also enjoy fitness, technology and spending time with family and friends.
