We are delighted to welcome Matthew Penfold back to GEA as a Principal Geotechnical Engineer. Many of our clients will already know Matt, as he joined us as a recent graduate in 2005, before leaving us in 2025 to join the geotechnical team of a major multidisciplinary engineers in central London. He further strengthens our team working on complex ground investigations and ground movement analyses, particularly for deep basement constructions in central and West London, and will enhance the service we offer on these projects.
Matt becomes our third engineer to return to GEA, which is a testament to our positive and collaborative working environment.
