What is your New Year resolution?
To look at my emails less in the evenings – a bad habit! – and prioritise more quality family time.
What piece of kit might you buy in the sales (non-work)?
A decent surfboard. I want to teach my children to surf.

Winvic of course, thanks to our Centre for Innovative Construction.

Successfully educating people about the technology available and also people’s understanding of the true end-to-end benefits.
