We’re pleased to welcome Dave Berry to Harban Redwood as Regional Director, strengthening our senior team as we continue to grow our Cheltenham office and expand our work across the South West and beyond.
Dave joined us in June, bringing almost 30 years of structural engineering experience across commercial, residential, education, industrial, defence and public sector projects.
During his career, Dave has worked on some of the UK’s most recognisable developments, including GCHQ in Cheltenham, Canary Wharf office towers, the Mercedes-AMG Formula One engine manufacturing facility and the UK Hydrographic Office.
Having previously held senior leadership positions at Hydrock and Stantec, Dave also brings extensive experience of leading engineering teams and delivering complex projects.
Supporting the next stage of Harban Redwood’s growth
As Regional Director, Dave is leading complex projects, managing our Cheltenham office and helping us develop new opportunities across sectors including commercial, education, leisure and aviation.
He will also play an important role in supporting and mentoring our engineers – something Dave is particularly passionate about.
His appointment comes at an exciting time for Harban Redwood. We’ve continued to grow through repeat business, referrals and long-standing relationships with architects, developers, contractors, property professionals and private clients.
For Managing Director Tom Redwood, strengthening the team while protecting the personal approach Harban Redwood is known for remains central to that growth.
“We’ve built a strong reputation by delivering quality engineering solutions and developing long-term relationships with our clients and project partners. As we continue to grow, we’re committed to investing in great people, maintaining our culture and delivering the personal service our clients value.
“Dave’s appointment is a major milestone for the business. His technical expertise, leadership experience and industry knowledge will strengthen our capabilities and support our ambitions for the future.”
A shared approach to engineering
For Dave, joining Harban Redwood was about more than the opportunity to work on interesting projects. The culture of the business and the opportunity to make a real contribution to its future were equally important.
“Everything I saw and heard about Harban Redwood reminded me of the type of consultancy where I most enjoyed working earlier in my career – a close-knit team, a friendly atmosphere, exciting projects and a genuine focus on delivering great work.
“When I met Tom and Ian, I immediately felt there was a great opportunity to contribute to the business and help support its future growth.”
Dave’s approach fits closely with our own belief that great engineering is about more than technical expertise. Clear communication, practical solutions and strong relationships between clients, architects, contractors and engineers are all essential to delivering successful projects.
As we continue to grow, Dave’s experience will help us broaden our capabilities while maintaining the collaborative, responsive and personal service that has always been at the heart of Harban Redwood.
Welcome to the team, Dave.
