Ken Leung

Structural Design Associates (SDA), an East Midlands based engineering consultancy, has appointed a senior chartered civil and structural engineer, Ken Leung.

Following its acquisition by food and drink capital investment experts, Integrated Food Projects (IFP) at the end of last year, it has launched a new civil engineering division to advise clients of both businesses.

Heading up the department is Leung who brings with him more than a decade of experience in civil and structural engineering, specialising in both design consultancy and construction.

Philip Chatfield, managing director of Integrated Food Projects, said: “Ken has worked for a number of large consultancies, and I am delighted that he has chosen SDA as the place to progress his career further. He is keen to contribute to the ongoing development of the services we already offer to clients, as well as expanding our civil engineering division for both SDA and IFP.

“All this means we can continue to bring together our knowledge and expertise to deliver a complete design service.”
