WSP said that security consulting had become an increasingly valuable area of building-related projects, with structural blast protection and electronic security design among key issues.
WSP has security teams at work in London, Winnipeg, Quebec, New York, Melbourne, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Johannesburg and the Middle East and has provided security consulting on the Shard, Heron Plaza and Knightsbridge Bulgari Hotel among others.
Mr Driver-Williams said: “As head of security consulting, my ultimate aim is to grow the WSP team into a world-class security consultancy providing unsurpassed, full-spectrum security and risk management services to our clients.”
