From Russia With Love (Of Engineering!)

Russian born graduate engineer Denis Fedosov is the latest recruit to join the ranks of HBPW.

Denis, 24, who hails from Moscow region, is a BEng graduate from Wolverhampton University and studied for his Masters in Civil Engineering at nearby Coventry University.

He studied in his native Russia up to the age of nine, then moved to Paphos in Cyprus before re-locating to Sheffield at the age of 18 and finally Wolverhampton. When he is not at his computer screen he is also an exponent of Capoeira, a martial art which has its origins in Brazil and which combines elements of fight, acrobatics, music, dance and ritual.

Partner Paul Monaghan, said: “We are delighted to welcome Denis to the team and, as well as a strong engineering pedigree, he brings another positive cultural dimension to the company thanks to his Eastern European background.

“With members of the HBPW team from as far afield as Egypt, Malawi and Malaysia, we now have a wonderful diverse mix of people within with the company, something that was highlighted as a requirement among those companies featuring in the NCE’s Top 100 companies.”

HBPW was named in the New Civil Engineer’s 2016 list, ranking at number 72.
