Leadership Team

Managing Director

Craig Simmonds

Craig was first introduced to ground probing radar technology in 1993 working for a system manufacturer. He’d previously worked as a topographic land and measured building surveyor and also as a site engineer at the Olympic Village project in Barcelona.

Craig’s fascination with expanding technology saw him start to design ways to blend the complicated radar technology output with standard topographical practises for the construction industry. Constantly innovating with the methodology and technology, Craig has performed training and conducted utility surveys in Vietnam, Japan, India, New Zealand and right across the United States.

As the Managing Director of Macleod Simmonds Limited, Craig is still pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved and is extremely proud of the team who are helping the company grow year on year to achieve their vision of geospatial excellence.

Denise Simmonds

Denise started working for Macleod Simmonds when it first started trading. Having gained a qualification in financial planning, and with a previous career working in financial services and administration, her skills were a great asset to the company in the early years.

As the company has grown Denise’s role has changed significantly and she is now involved in business development and decision making, alongside overseeing the administration and finances of the company.

Denise’s natural skills in client liaison and relationship management helped to shape the company culture and helped to make Macleod Simmonds the company it is today.

Technical Director

Chris Hayward

Chris has been involved in utility mapping and working with GPR systems since 2001.

With a passion for the technology and the application involved in creating high quality utility maps, Chris was the lead surveyor on many high-profile projects across the capital including Crossrail, City of London schemes and many more.

From 2009, Chris was working as a production manager and was involved in training and mentoring of junior staff. As well as this, he spent time in the middle east training a Saudi company in the use of EML and GPR surveying.

In 2011, having worked with the Stream EM since 2010, Chris decided to join forces at Macleod Simmonds as the use of an array GPR system was clearly the next ‘major-step’ in the industry and could clearly see the advantages.
As the company has grown, Chris is now looking after Health & Safety, project delivery and technical issues.
