The RIBA East Small, New and Emerging Practice Network is a regular online networking meeting aimed at startups, sole practitioners and small and emerging practices in the East of England.
For our July meetup we're delighted to welcome Tom Francis of Varsity Consulting to talk to the group. This will be an informal discussion with plenty of time for questions and answers.
Tom leads Quantity Surveying at Varsity and founded the Company in 2017 after 12 years at Davis Langdon/AECOM.
Tom is a Chartered Quantity Surveyor and NEC Accredited Project Manager and has a friendly, personable, proactive approach to projects; constantly looking to drive efficiencies and save clients money on projects without compromising on quality.
The majority of Tom’s career has been spent working in and around Cambridge and the South-East for clients including Cambridge University, Samsung, The Perse School, RBS, Cambridge Assessment, Imperial College and a number of developers. Tom also spent a year working in the Bahamas in 2013 delivering cost management on a $3.5bn mega resort project.
As always, group participation, networking and discussion around any topics of interest is encouraged and if there's something, in particular, you'd like to raise, please either do so during the meeting or email Juliet Talbot in advance.
This is a friendly, sociable meetup for RIBA East members to share experiences and learn from others on a range of topics and issues.
The events are hosted by Sasha Edmonds, Founding Director of Liv Architects and Luke Butcher, Founding Director of Butcher Bayley Architects.
Register now and then pull up a chair, grab a laptop and a coffee, and join the network.
