About Us

Simon’s career started in Special Purpose Machinery design where he quickly demonstrated aptitude for solid Engineering and Manufacturing principles. Having also established strong CAD skills during this time, his career path turned away from core Engineering and into Specialist Metalwork and Facades. Tenures at SAS/Lindner, Astec Projects and more recently at Lakesmere and Kaicer (Building Envelope Solutions) allowed Simon to apply his core Engineering and Manufacturing knowledge to affect and deliver highly engineered architectural solutions. Much of his career has been spent based on site with over 20 years of experience, mainly working within complex civil engineering environments (Airports, Underground, Crossrail). Simon has a track record of resolving the highly complex and technical issues that are common in these project environments.

Simon is one of Metrics Design’s three founding Directors and he plays an active role in the delivery of design, with an emphasis on Specialist Metalwork, Façade Engineering and compliance. Simon thrives for creating simple, buildable, robust design solutions that adhere to the fundamental principles of Façade Engineering.

As a particular area of interest Simon has taken the technical aspect of Façade Engineering a stage further and is currently studying for an MSc in Façade Engineering at Bath University. Simon’s career prior to Metrics Design culminated in both a Design Directorship and Technical Directorship, and as such, his skill set not only includes excellent technical knowledge but also exceptional leadership, design management, and client relations skills.
