On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Derbyshire, Derbyshire Building Control Partnership (DBCP) has appointed Simeon Cornes building control team leader for the company’s Derby office.
Cornes has a strong background in building control, having previously held a senior building control surveyor position at East Staffordshire Borough Council. He began his career as a YTS technician in building control within Local Authority moving up the ranks to his current position, including time within Derby City as a building control surveyor.
He joins DBCP’s 15-strong of building surveyors covering Derbyshire.
Cornes: “I am passionate about ensuring that buildings are safe and fit for use and it’s a job that can’t be done in isolation as you need the resources and skills of a wider team. It was the support network behind DBCP that attracted me to both the role and organisation.”
