Shonn Mills joins, launching Whitby Wood Mills

Today’s challenges are urgent, complex, interlinked and global. They require new ways of thinking and — importantly — they require action and agility.

Group Managing Director Sebastian Wood:
“The global challenges our clients face will not be solved by the same kind of thinking or businesses that created them. We are building a next-generation design-led practice, fully leveraging technology for maximum measurable impact. This is engineering as if people mattered.”
