Jon Simmons

I have over 25 years experience of delivering a wide range of projects of all scales. Based in Scotland I also have experience of working throughout the UK and internationally. I have held senior positions in large international consultancies and more specialist landscape practices, latterly as a partner in Gillespies.

I am completely CAD literate with additional skills in Adobe graphics suite and sketchup. My experience allows me to quickly assimilate projects and understand the key issues. Deep down I am a problem solver who cares passionately about design quality and always tries to put the client first.

Key areas of experience include:

- The design of high quality Public Realm

- Masterplanning

- Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments

- Appearance as an Expert Witness

- Project Management

- Urban and Rural Regeneration

- Feasibility Studies

- Parks and Historic Landscapes

- Golf Course design

- Design of Residential, Educational, Healthcare and Commercial landscapes

- Public Engagement Strategies

- Design Guides.
