He spent the first 20 years of his career in design, fabrication and the erection of piping and equipment in the Chemical, Power Generation, Nuclear, Oil and Gas sectors.

The next 20 years involved the decommissioning and demolishing of plants in the UK and across the globe, including some of the equipment he installed 30 years ago!

More recently Tony has been managing the asset recovery, remediation and logistics for major International and industry clients.

His specialist knowledge and skills also cover the provision of technical assessments and the design of complex decommissioning solutions, including Hazcon / Hazdem and Risk Evaluation.

Tony is a time served expert in his field and undertakes the management of day-to-day operations in live John F Hunt site environments.

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.
