Putting his experience in the education sector to use, Tom played an instrumental role in redeveloping St. Hilda’s College’s £20m riverside site in Oxford city centre. Tom is currently working with University of Oxford on their Home for Information, Engineering, Computer Sciences and Digital Health.
The projects that Tom works on are nothing short of exceptional. Prior to Bidwells, Tom worked on Stratford-upon-Avon’s Royal Shakespeare Theatre, consulted on part of London’s Olympic Park, and supported the Department for Education on their various school improvement programmes.
Now an asset within our Oxford Project Management team, Tom is heavily involved in the Ashmolean Museum’s plans to redevelop their City Centre site and Oxford Sciences Innovation on numerous fit-out projects. These impressive laboratory facilities are used to conduct different types of research, among them finding cures for cancer.
In addition to being a member of RICS, Tom is an APC supervisor for budding surveyors across Bidwell’s Oxford and Cambridge offices.
Their careful stakeholder management is invaluable in the delivery of our projects. We wouldn’t want to undertake a project without them.
