Commenting on her new role, Bernice Wong said: 

“Cundall is well-known in the industry for its proactive approach to fire engineering, and I look forward to working alongside the fire team, as well as the structural team to help them continue to deliver innovative designs that are compliant with the latest fire safety guidance and legislation.”
