STUDIO LEADERSHIP : BRISTOL

Tom joined the Bristol studio shortly after it was founded in 2016.

Tom has continued on to become the Studio Leader in Bristol Studio responsible for promoting a positive Design Studio Culture and continuing the work of developing business relationships in the South West.

In recent years Tom has been active in Education, Arts and Culture, Civic and Residential sectors.

Tom is an excellent and confident communicator in large project teams, and within community engagement. He is experienced in leading and delivering BIM Level 2 projects and implementing the 3D modelling for coordination, and public engagement. He thoroughly enjoys engaging with clients, stakeholders and the design teams and values good relationships and communication as the key to successful projects.
