I believe that it was a natural transition to become an Accredited Access Consultant. As someone with first-hand knowledge of the architectural profession and, due to living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and the experiences of a manual wheelchair user, I can provide a unique, dual perspective on access issues.
GOOD ACCESS has become an integral part of my life.
