Director-Level Appointment Strengthens Quantum Consult Team

Leeds-based Quantum Consult, a consultancy which specialises in managing contract disputes in the construction and engineering sectors, has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of a highly experienced, legally-qualified chartered civil engineer.

Chris Campbell joins Quantum after 16 years with Skanska UK, part of one of the world’s largest development and construction companies. During his career with this business, he progressed from entry level project engineering roles to senior leadership, including Regional Operations Manager and Business Development & Preconstruction Director for the specialist ground engineering division, Cementation.

He brings extensive skills, knowledge and experience in negotiating and securing contracts in all kinds of construction and engineering projects, with experience gained on many high value schemes such as London’s Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) project, the £140m Humber Gas Pipeline Tunnel, as well as portfolio of small and medium sized commercial and residential construction projects across the UK.

Coupled with his Master of Laws (LLM) in Construction Law & Dispute Resolution, this means Chris is well-placed to be able to assist Quantum’s clients manage their contractual matters more effectively, particularly getting fair outcomes on distressed projects, and support the growth of the business overall.

Commenting on his appointment, Chris said:
