Paul Darvodelsky: Solids Handling Specialist, Managing Director

"I started PSD in 1997 to try and build a structure which was better suited to delivering focussed services. I worked previously with some of the large consulting firms and felt I could be more responsive to clients in a more flexible work environment. I find that this flexibility and freedom engenders greater creativity, which gives better results, which in turn is more fun and more satisfying for me and our clients. So far, so good!"

Paul is a chemical engineer with nearly 20 years experience in municipal, industrial water and waste water treatment.
