Buro Happold has made a key appointment in its specialist consulting group to strengthen further its expertise in security management. Mark Whitaker brings with him over 25 years of experience of the private security industry, counter-terrorism and the British army. The appointment bolsters the group's capabilities in helping clients ensure appropriate security precautions and crisis management measures are integrated into their projects. Mark is an explosives engineer, who has most recently been specialising in crisis and security management for an international, independent risk consultancy. His work for Buro Happold will see him analysing building design projects and assessing where security issues might arise and how to mitigate any risk. This can be done through modifying the design to enhance lighting schemes, by considering security when designing facades and atria or careful planning of counter measures such as CCTV, intruder detection systems and access control.
