Colin is among our most experienced engineers. His abilities and understanding are multidisciplinary. He is particularly accomplished in the delivery of listed building refurbishments, including cultural projects such as the Courtauld Institute of Art and the restoration of Grade II-listed, 19th-century theatre within Alexandra Palace.
Colin’s engineering career began at Arup, after graduating from Oxford University, then a stint as a lecturer in building services at Sheffield University, before joining the Max Fordham team in 1998. He brings more than 30 years’ engineering and problem-solving experience to the projects he delivers.
As a Director, Colin provides engineering vision and leadership within the business and is a senior contact for clients and collaborators.
“For me, engineering is about turning ideas into reality, and delivering elegant, unobtrusive services that bring a space to life. It often means working within tight constraints – some see this as an obstacle, but I relish the challenge.”
