Colin is a chartered architect, based in Oxford.  He provides a wide range of professional services, including design, project management and expert witness, with a particular emphasis on historic and period buildings.  He acts for private, commercial and institutional clients, including the education sector.  Colin has been privileged to work on several Grade I listed buildings of national importance, however he enjoys the variety of a wide range of project types, large and smaller.  He enjoys keeping fit and helps to run two local fitness training groups; unfortunately he also enjoys real ale!  Both interests are combined in the annual 'Lads & Dads' challenge, which involves a group of fathers and sons tackling a tough long distance walk, with frequent refreshment stops.
