He has undertaken works from conception to validation on numerous remediation and demolition projects and is experienced in working in environmentally sensitive areas. He has also completed scour protection and coastal defence works.

Tony was Contracts Manager on VHE's Hub Cluster sites in the North West for National Grid Property Holdings, enabling the transfer, re-use and treatment of materials across four sites simultaneously.
