Paul’s address is “Lessons from CROSS: Improving Structural Safety Through Reporting.”
  • Charlotte Wildman, Design Manager at Willmott Dixon. Charlotte’s focus is “Mitigating the risks in the design & build contract.”
  • Peter Wilkinson, Fire Engineering Consultant, also representing CROSS. Peter will speak about “Emerging trends in fire safety.”
