Established in 2018

Bob and Tricia are both highly experienced, having worked in the gas industry for many years, and Bob is both a Chartered Gas Engineer and a member of the Institute of Gas Engineers and Managers.
Tricia Beavis’ Profile
Tricia began her career in the gas industry twenty years ago with Transco, now known as Cadent, using specialist network analysis software to assess the options for replacing iron gas mains networks with polyethylene systems. Tricia also used network analysis models to assess the impacts of adding new customer connections and proposing reinforcement solutions to keep the network within specific operating parameters.
Tricia has also worked for a pipe installation contractor and an independent gas transporter in a support and compliance role, maintaining high standards of records to satisfy rigorous health, safety, quality and environmental requirements and making sure technical staff were kept up-to-date with the latest training.

Bob is a chartered engineer with design, construction and management experience spanning over thirty-seven years starting as a British Gas apprentice and subsequently working on the national and local gas transmission and distribution networks.
He continued his education at the University of London gaining a first class honours degree in civil engineering and became registered as a Chartered Engineer through the Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers (IGEM).
