At McAvoy, he will lead on health-related design projects, helping to shape future modular facilities manufactured for both rental and sale.

It was also reappointed to the NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) modular building framework for a third consecutive term.
Laura McCormick, healthcare strategy lead at McAvoy, said: “Healthcare providers continue to face rising demand, operational pressures and budget constraints. Strengthening our design capability is a key part of our strategy to help trusts deliver the facilities they need, including optimising funding, accelerating delivery programmes, and supporting long-term adaptability. Matthew’s specialist background in healthcare architecture will improve the service we provide at every stage of a project, from early engagement through to design and delivery. We’re delighted to welcome him to the team.â€
