We are delighted to welcome a trio of new starters at McCann and Partners - Hayley Barratt-Bentley and Shamma Tasneem both join the thermal modelling team and Katie Williams joins the admin department.

Shamma has also just completed an Masters at the Welsh School of Architecture at Cardiff University, where she studied Sustainable Buildings with a focus in building design optimisation and computational simulations for achieving net zero energy in large scale buildings.
Before that, and after studying for Bachelor of Architecture in Bangladesh, she worked as a Project Architect with the Ministry of Housing & Public Works, Bangladesh Government. Her responsibilities included planning, feasibility study, detailed technical drawings and presentation of architectural projects of the Police and Naval Department of Bangladesh.
Shamma’s main responsibilities within McCann and Partners will be Computational Simulations, Thermal Modelling, Evaluation of Carbon Emissions, Building Design Optimisation and Recommendation for Sustainability, and building Physics.
