º£½ÇÊÓƵ

Joining º£½ÇÊÓƵ in 1992, Claire is a Partner and our South West market lead.

With over 30 years of structural and multidisciplinary engineering experience, Claire still loves the technical challenges of her work. Throughout this time, she has worked on a wide variety of new build and refurbishment projects, including educational, cultural and leisure buildings. A strong theme of her work is the desire to produce structures that are expressive of the material properties of which they are constructed.

Claire is passionate about sharing the expertise and knowledge gained from her work on international projects with the South West market to benefit local communities. She is currently working on the regeneration of North and South Quays in the centre of Bath and the New Campus for the University of Bristol, regenerating the heart of Bath’s neighbouring city.

Claire is a Chartered civil and structural engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and an Honorary Doctor of the University of Bath. She co-authored the Institution of Structural Engineering’s book Design for Zero (a guide to reducing embodied carbon in building structures), a collaboration between Bath and Cambridge University published in 2021.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, Claire sat on the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) regional recovery task force and the Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) Economic Recovery and Renewal board partnerships between the local authority, academia and business to address the challenges of the pandemic. This partnership strategy work continues at the BANES Future Ambition Board and Claire leads the Climate and Nature Theme Group.
