Andy Bowler, Dave Taylder and Dan Bailey: Howard Ward Associates

Civil and structural engineering consultancy Howard Ward Associates (HWA) has restructured its management team with members stepping up to senior positions, as the company goes from strength to strength with a large pipeline of work and three new hires appointed recently.

HWA sees two new buy-ins to the senior management team with associates Andy Bowler who has been with the company for six years, and Dave Taylder who has been with the company just under two years, each stepping up to director level.

Director Dan Bailey will be also taking on the role of managing director, as the company’s current managing director Giles Ward takes a step back following 26 years at HWA.

Dan, who joined HWA in 2013, has more than 25 years’ experience as a civil and structural engineer, working in the public and private sectors on varied projects both regionally and nationally.

On the restructure, managing director Giles Ward commented: “During my 26 years with the company I have been delighted to see our client base, portfolio and the range of services we offer continue to grow.

“Congratulations to Andy, Dave and Dan on their new positions - it is an exciting period for the team, as we focus on nurturing the relationships that we have with our clients and celebrate the fantastic work that has been achieved to date.”
