My unexpected journey SAM LOMBARD CAME TO US IN 2021, WITH WIDE-RANGING EXPERIENCE IN THE ENGINEERING SECTOR

Sam's fascination with flight may have influenced his choice of degree. But back in 2005, he could never have known where it would lead. Ultimately, of course, it brought him here to Newton. But with plenty of exciting twists and turns along the way.

Henry Hunt

The reality of being an Engineer didn't quite live up to the dream for Henry. Particularly as his career progressed and he became further removed from the improvements he was keen to make. Fortunately, that experience is part of what makes him such a great Consultant.
