We are delighted to announce that after the latest meeting of our Impartiality Committee on Wednesday the 8th of November 2023, Mr Stephen Kerr of Wylie Shanks Architects has agreed to take over the role of Chairman of the Committee.
Stephen has 30 years’ experience in the world of architecture and works across an extensive range and value of projects ranging from healthcare to public authority, conservation, education, industrial and residential projects. Stephen routinely acts as an impartial Contract Administrator on construction contracts as well as being professionally bound to act with integrity at all times by his professional Code of Conduct. Therefore, he is well positioned to perform the impartial duties expected from the Committee for which he chairs.
Stephen takes over a very important role at UKTC that was held by our previous Chairman Bill McDonagh and, as the business expands, we look forward to the Committee being taken to the next level under his leadership.
