Hello and welcome to the latest episode of Marketing In Times of Recovery.  I’m your host Ayo Abbas, a built environment marketing consultant and founder of Abbas Marketing. 

Today’s guests are the highly talented engineers Stephen Melville and James Solly who run Format Engineers.  I know both of them from when I worked at Ramboll many moons ago. 

In our discussion, we talk about a host of things from: 

  • how they stand out from traditional structural engineering firms
  • why they love being involved through all stages of a project and why they feel it’s so important 
  • and finally the types of marketing tactics that have worked for them.
