WITNEY: Engineering consultancy Gifford has promoted Matthew Tyrrell from technical director to director.
Mr Tyrrell, 37, a chartered electrical engineer, was born in Oxford and attended the Matthew Arnold School in the city before completing an electrical apprenticeship.
He later obtained a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Brighton, East Sussex.
After working for six years at Headington-based electrical contractor R T Harris & Son, Mr Tyrrell joined Gifford in 1997 as a senior electrical engineer and was made a technical director in 2005.
He said: "This is a fantastic reward for the work that the team and I have done over the past few years.
"I will be able to provide a focus and figurehead for our local clients."
