David Parratt is a Building Engineer / Chartered Building Surveyor. Before qualifying in this field, he was a Chartered Quantity Surveyor and later a Chartered Arbitrator.
In obtaining this latter qualification he was assisted by having a London University degree in Law. In this capacity, he was a part-time lecturer in Arbitration Law for a Masters Degree course at Leeds Metropolitan University.
He has been a member of the Council of the Society since 1990 and has served two years as its President. His legal qualification helped him to completely re-draft the Society’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. With the aim of ensuring that the Society matched its title as “Professional”, he also drafted its Bye-laws, it’s disciplinary procedures, its Mission Statement and its Code of Professional Ethics.
David is keen for the Society to promote engineering as a worthwhile group of professions which are not only essential to the well-being of mankind but are actually an exciting way of making a living.
