Richard Northwood is pleased to welcome his new recruit. "COMS has been exploring the possibilities of expanding the acoustic services that it offers to clients and after a lot of searching found the ideal candidate in the form of Paul Malpas and managed to tempt him away from quite a senior position at Arup Acoustics to join and help grow the team at COMS," remarked Northwood. "Paul has a great combination of enthusiasm and knowledge for his subject coupled with a long history of helping design teams deliver successful projects. I'm sure his skills and attitude will fit in well with the ethos at COMS."
Malpas agrees and is relishing the prospect of a more "hands-on" role with COMS. "After 17 years with a major firm like Arup that employs over 7,000 people I've joined a team where we number less than 10 - it's a big change!" he says. "What it means is that we all naturally have a more responsible role in terms of business strategy going forward as well as the day-to-day system design and consultancy. I'm looking forward to having that extra level of responsibility and being a key part of a dynamic and successful team here at COMS."
