Inspired thinking
In this month's #Build2Perform podcast, CIBSE PR and Communications Executive Matt Snowden spoke to Ant Wilson, Director of Building Engineering at AECOM, about his career, inspirations, and his opinions on some pressing issues in building services.
Opening up the paper to check the New Year Honours list isn't something that the majority of us will ever have to concern ourselves with, but it recently became a reality for AECOM Director of Building and CIBSE veteran Ant Wilson MBE. Ant will be familiar to many at the Institution, being part of CIBSE life for most of the last 40 years and lending his expertise to countless committees, groups, societies and technical projects.
A silver medal winner and Fellow of the institution, rarely has the citation in an award for 'services to Engineering' been so apt, as Ant has lent his time to a huge variety of areas across the industry - from young engineers and BIM, to lighting and facades. I sat down with him on one of this many visits to Balham, to have a chat about his recent honour, and to get his views on his last 40 years in building services.
