Richard is a CGL Director responsible for commercial, technical management and business development at CGL’s Harrogate office.

Richard has more than 17 years’ experience as a project manager and geotechnical/geoenvironmental engineer in sustainable land development and infrastructure projects across the UK with major UK and international consultancies/contractors.

Richard’s current specialist work area focuses on the energy sector and difficult access/remote and often hostile ground investigation contracts across the UK but most notably in the highlands of Scotland for various energy transmission clients.  By using partnering arrangements with specialist selected subcontractors, Richard and CGL have a proven track record in delivering in this area, often taking on board certain site risks to allow fix costs for clients which offer a unique advantage to clients working in this sector.
