Paul is Co-Founder and Director of Intecho. His aim 14 years ago remains just as strong now. He wanted to design and deliver exceptional smart buildings which reduced energy use and improved the quality of the internal environment.

Paul’s formative years were spent working for the Royal Household and Cabinet Office where he was responsible for estates including Balmoral and Windsor to name but a few. His passion for what he does is visible for everyone to see and he feeds off the talented staff and feedback from clients.

Will joined us as an Apprentice nearly 5 years ago, having decided that a fine arts degree was not for him (he, quite literally, walked out of his first lecture and never looked back!). After his first week here at Intecho, he knew he had made the right decision. The variety of projects and the application of technology has turned him into a smart building expert.

Will’s passion for delivering projects and managing client relationships has enabled him to progress over the years, and he’s now our Smart Building Controls Team Leader, currently supporting two of our Apprentices. He looks after high profile projects in both London and Cheshire, and also supports with the training and development of future engineers. Commenting on his experience at Intecho so far, Will said: “I feel fortunate to work here as we have fun, it’s a happy place to come into every day and there’s a great team spirit”.

Outside of work, you will find Will playing football, going the gym and chilling with friends.

Steve joined Intecho in 2018, leaving behind a big-five constructor to work for a company that cares about clients as much as contracts. He’s been involved in commercial building controls delivery as an electrical engineer, commissioning engineer and operations manager. He will handle your project from conception to handover through to ongoing maintenance. He’s passionate about automation and efficiency and believes that collaborative engineering is the route to a sustainable future.

Steve likes to spend his weekends with his 3 children walking in the hills.

Alan has been involved with control panel production most of his career. He was trained within a specialist section for ‘highly secure projects’ within GEC Plessey (which became a specialist division of Siemens).

Alan has been with Intecho since the very start and has been critical to the growth of the company.

“It gives me a real sense of pride knowing that much of our repeat and referral business is a result of our clients holding the control panels in high regard.” [He thinks clients come back because they love his control panels. Please don’t tell him any different.]

Outside of work, Alan is a keen cyclist and last year completed Lands’ End to John o’ Groats raising money for local charities.

Gohar has been part of the Intecho team for over 4 years and supports our residential building control projects.

Gohar grew up in a small village in Pakistan and from a young age loved technology and innovation. His passion for this grew when he attended university and studied Computer Engineering. When qualified, he joined the programming industry and has never looked back. Utilising his industry-leading knowledge, he has worked on huge projects in the UAE and Oman as a KNX Programmer, gaining valuable experience and constantly developing his skills. Now focusing on high-end residential projects throughout Cheshire and London, Gohar works closely with our Project Manager to deliver seamless controls that bring our client’s visions to life.

In his spare time, you will find Gohar watching and playing cricket, making YouTube tutorials on programming and enjoying long walks.

Bart started his career as an Electrician over 17 years ago and has worked at all levels, from an Apprentice to a Project Manager on some of the largest residential MDU projects in London.

Bart picked up his passion for technology when working on these huge projects and after much hard work, started to steer in the direction of audio visual and building controls.  Having worked on multiple high-end projects in the UK and Europe, Bart has been responsible for the delivery of the projects as well as the programming and design of the AV and control systems.

In his spare time, Bart loves to discover new and interesting places and also loves tinkering with DIY projects (he’s currently building some new shelves at home!).

Will is one of our Apprentices and has been with the Intecho team for almost 3 years. He supports our commercial team with building controls and is often out on the road, supporting at sites down in London or throughout Cheshire.

Having found a passion for engineering at a young age, Will attended college and soon after found this Apprenticeship opportunity. After analysing the market, he understood how much demand there was for smart technology and knew this industry was right for him. Commenting on his time here at Intecho so far, Will said: “I really enjoy working at Intecho. One of my favourite things is having the opportunity to support amazing projects like the Ivy Asia, St James Quarter in Edinburgh and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. I am continually enhancing my skills and building my knowledge and I am looking forward to what the future holds.”.

In his spare time, you will find Will watching his favourite team, Everton, as well as playing the sport himself. He also loves going to watch gigs and attending his local gym.
