Cundall, an international multidisciplinary engineering consultancy with over 1,000 staff in 27 locations worldwide, has appointed Andrew Somerville as Partner to head the practice’s ‘rapidly growing’ science and technology sector.
With nearly three decades’ experience in advanced engineering design, he has contributed his expertise to science and technology projects worldwide, working with clients from leading institutions including the Technology Facilities Council, Francis Crick Institute, Cancer Research UK, and the Medical Research Council. Set to focus on developing Cundall’s existing team of science and technology specialists through knowledge-sharing and development opportunities, he said: “Designing science and technology buildings is what I am deeply passionate about, and leading the sector within Cundall will be rewarding. The great thing about science and technology projects is that they tend to be exciting and interesting to work on, while helping people and wider society – projects we can be proud to get involved with.”
“I am looking forward to working at Cundall for so many reasons, but primarily because it is leading the industry with a great portfolio of projects, working with amazing clients. The business’s multidisciplinary approach ensures that our science and technology clients have a holistic service offering as well.”
