Operations Director of Desco, Kevin is a very experienced Chartered Engineer with particular expertise in electrical building services. Kevin started in the industry by serving a trade apprenticeship in electrical contracting, then moved into design having gained a BEng (Hons) degree in mechanical and electrical engineering. He was a design manager for a large national engineering contractor before joining Desco in early 2000. Kevin moved quickly through the ranks to the position of Associate Director leading a design group working on a wide range of projects in a number of sectors before being promoted to Director in January 2007. Kevin was initially responsible for one of the UK design teams in the head office and the technical delivery of projects within the UK. In 2011 he took on the role of Qatar Country Director, based in Doha, responsible for project delivery of work secured in the Middle East. In 2016 he moved back to the UK to become the Operations Director with responsibility for all operational matters and management of resource in the practice.

Director of Desco, Neil is a very experienced engineer who takes responsibility for the technical delivery of projects and management of one of the practice’s design teams in the Sunderland office. Neil has the benefit of having worked in both a contracting and a consulting environment and so has a very pragmatic approach to design. He retains hands on involvement on his projects from project inception to completion. He brings a wealth of experience including performing detailed infrastructure studies, negotiating with utility service providers to determine appropriate and cost-effective site servicing strategies, surveys and feasibility reports through to detailed design. A team player, approachable and responsive, Neil is comfortable and experienced in liaising with stakeholders at all levels - clients, local authorities and other public bodies, end user clients and design and construction team colleagues. He enjoys broad-ranging experience across a variety of sectors and is respected amongst his colleagues and clients for his technical knowledge and open and honest approach.

Craig is a principal electrical engineer, based in our head office at Sunderland. He joined the Desco team having spent twelve years with a global engineering supplier where he developed a wealth of knowledge and practical experience. He enjoys a broad ranging project portfolio including healthcare, universities, colleges and schools, police headquarters, industrial, retail and residential schemes. Craig is a competent engineer who takes great interest in his continued professional development. Since progressing into a senior engineering role, he has taken a lead role in the delivery of a number of the practice’s projects. Craig’s experience in the detailed design of services, and his practical background, means he brings his firm understanding of ensuring initial concept designs are functional and efficient to each project he approaches
