I am the Chief Executive of DWA. I am a chartered architect and a member of the chartered institute of Arbitrators, and I am responsible for the overall control of DWA, with particular emphasis on the business, the development of the business and the quality and style of professional services delivered by the Company and Marketing.

Before setting up DWA in 1988 I was a partner in Finch Ward Associates and responsible for the setting up of it's Leeds office in 1986. The practice undertook a wide variety of projects including major hotel refurbishment and residential developments, particularly apartments.

Prior to setting up Finch Ward Associates in 1984 I worked with various major practices in London working on major retail developments including department stores, shopping malls and airport related projects including passenger terminals and aircraft maintenance buildings.

I studied Architecture at Bristol University.
