Tony Gee

I started my career as a design engineer carrying out detailed design on a wide range of civil and structural engineering projects, later moving more specifically into rail sector in the UK. Cutting edge construction engineering and efficiencies in how we build things have always been an interest of mine. Development of young staff and emerging technologies are a key part of our business now and these are aspects that fascinate me, even if I am still struggling to fully understand the new technologies and how we might employ them. I am now Executive Managing Director for Tony Gee LLP and have a passion for people and career development. I am interested in how the industry is changing and the developments, both technically and in how we develop the way we work and the environment we work in.
