Huw is a conscientious professional who produced highly competent revit design models when we worked together. His understanding of the relationship between good design and the resolving of complex technical issues made him a huge asset to the project and a pleasure to work with. Huw communicates clearly and takes his work seriously. Occasionally he tries to be funny.

Dean Bailey

I had the pleasure of appointing Huw to Benoy’s Hong Kong team and working with Huw for almost a year. We worked together on many projects and I know Huw to be an efficient, organized, hard-working and highly professional individual. Huw is technically savvy and understands the process of delivering an architectural/interior design through to tender and construction stage documentation. Huw is good with clients and can host multi-discipline coordination meetings. I have no hesitation recommending Huw to a similar, or more senior, type role.
