With a career in construction, demolition and decommissioning spanning 30 years, Steve is a highly experienced director holding senior positions with leading construction and demolition companies across the UK.

Dr Adam Fisher

Ground Engineering Director 

Adam is widely regarded as one of the UK’s leading Geotechnical Engineers and brings over 25 years’ experience in ground engineering and ground risk management to the Regeneration team.

Dr Fisher, previously a Partner at Campbell Reith, joins the company with an impressive international portfolio which includes leading a Ground Risk Management Team within Western Australia’s high value mining sector for Calibre Global. 

His experience allows the business to support schemes with complex ground engineering elements and further strengthens its ability to be “a trusted advisor” to clients.

Adam started his career in 1994 working for and being mentored by Bristol University’s Dr Brian Hawkins, while completing his PhD. Following such a strong introduction to consultancy, he further progressed his knowledge and experience at Parkman and WSP prior to 10 years as Director at Hydrock. From 2011 he worked in Australia’s iron ore mining industry for three years, on complex, rapid growth projects for demanding mining blue-chip companies, before returning to the UK and joining Campbell Reith.

Working alongside regeneration and civil engineering contractors, Adam decided to cross over from pure consultancy and having worked with Regeneration to deliver projects with great success in the past, John F Hunt was the obvious place to make the change.
