Craig Macklin’s extensive ground engineering background brings valuable expertise to projects across London and the Home Counties.
Geobear’s appointment of Craig Macklin as UK managing director marks a significant development in the ground engineering sector within London, Greater London, and the Home Counties. With three decades of experience, Macklin brings a wealth of knowledge in managing complex infrastructure projects and expanding specialist operations.
Macklin’s track record includes leading the £30.7 million redevelopment of London Bridge Station, a project that required precise ground engineering solutions in a live operational environment. This experience is particularly relevant for construction management in London and surrounding counties such as Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire, where infrastructure projects often demand rigorous planning and coordination to minimise disruption.
His leadership at Franki Foundations, where he grew the business substantially and cultivated strong relationships with insurers and major contractors, demonstrates the importance of reliable partnerships in delivering successful projects. For construction managers, this highlights the value of integrating specialist ground engineering expertise early in the planning and development phases to anticipate and mitigate risks associated with sub-surface conditions.
Atico Solutions recognises that effective construction management hinges on collaboration with experienced ground engineering teams. Macklin’s appointment underscores the critical role such expertise plays in navigating the complexities of urban and regional development projects. Ensuring that ground conditions are thoroughly assessed and addressed enables smoother project delivery and supports the sustainable growth of the built environment across London and the Home Counties.
