After intending to pursue a career in architecture, Anthony followed in the footsteps of his father and graduated as a Chartered Surveyor in 1991. Since then, his ability to articulate complex technical and legal matters clearly has seen him work on a wide range of projects – from inspecting and reporting on damage after the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes, to project managing large recladding works, providing remediation and strategic design and managing interior design/space-planning for offices. He advises on disputes for Licenced Builders, and acted as expert witness in a £15m litigation claim regarding the compulsory purchase of land, which was successfully settled at mediation.

One of his favourite projects was designing the re-modelling of the Sherlock Holmes ‘Baker Street’ studios for Granada Television in Manchester, where he successfully met a challenging programme and tight budgetary constraints.

In his role at Prendos, Anthony advises on building pathology and defects diagnostics to residential and commercial premises, provides architectural and remedial design, and manages contract procurement and administration on behalf of private and public sector building owners/occupiers.

Anthony’s ability to think critically allows him to perceive issues from more than one perspective, ultimately finding better solutions. He understands that in order to solve a problem you must listen and understand the needs of the client, and he does so with patience and empathy.

Outside of work Anthony is passionate about art and music, and is a keen supporter of Liverpool Football Club.
