Barry McAvoy

Barry was the former head of buildings in Scotland for Ramboll UK and brings his considerable global design and management expertise to the 33-year-old engineering practice.

He said: “I’m really excited to be part of one of the biggest building services consultants in Scotland. I’m very passionate about low carbon and passive design and also how digitalisation can transform our industry.”

The partners of RSP added: “We are all extremely excited by this appointment and genuinely believe this will help strengthen our professional reputation as one of the biggest and best engineering consultants. Barry is already up and running working from home like the majority of the industry, getting himself involved in projects and mixing with the team in the virtual environment.

“We are sure the industry will pull through the current crisis. We are confident the addition of Barry to our current business plan will position us well when the recovery hits.”
