InAVation Awards: Consultant of the Year

11 April 2012

Jim Maynard recently received, on behalf of Arup, the InAVation Award for Consultant of the Year and has a string of prestigious and technically complex projects on his CV. He talks to Anna Mitchell about a journey that begun with a childhood interest in electronics and brought him to one of the most influential consultancy firms in the world.

On February 1, 2012 Jim Maynard, a principal consultant at Arup, accepted, on behalf of the company, the Consultant of the Year accolade at the InAVation Awards in Amsterdam.

Three years before the award ceremony Maynard was nearly 10,000 kilometres away proposing an ambitious AV, IPTV and communications solution in the offices of the Mauritius Commercial Bank. Maynard was embarking on the start of a project that would see him pick up the award for the contribution he and Arup made to the bank through the role of project consultant for the organisation’s new building.

To learn how Maynard progressed his career through electronics engineering and AV integration as well as an insight into what goes into an Arup project read the full article in InAVate’s Active Magazine.
