His appointment enhances Delta's ability to support architects, engineers, contractors, developers, and waterproofing professionals with robust, project-specific waterproofing solutions.

A highly respected figure within the waterproofing sector, Richard has extensive expertise in below-ground waterproofing design, specification development, construction detailing, and technical support. His practical, solutions-led approach will help customers navigate complex waterproofing challenges with confidence from concept through to completion.

Throughout his career, Richard has remained at the forefront of technical standards and professional development within the waterproofing industry. He has contributed to numerous industry guidance documents for organisations including the PCA, NHBC, CIRIA and TBIC, and was a member of the committee responsible for the 2022 revision of BS 8102, the British Standard for protection of below-ground structures against water ingress.

Richard is also a recognised industry educator and speaker, having presented at numerous conferences, including four appearances at the PCA International Structural Waterproofing Conference. He has served as a CSSW oral examiner for the past decade, helping to maintain the high standards expected within the industry.

In addition to his industry contributions, Richard is a published author, with papers featured in the Journal of Building Survey, Appraisal & Valuation, where he currently serves on the Editorial Board.
