Inteb, the Preston-based low energy and sustainability consultant, has appointed Frank Mills as senior technical consultant for sustainability, energy, building services and fire engineering.
Mr Mills is known both nationally and internationally for his work with flagship developments such as Media City in Salford, Wirral Waters - the largest ever development planning application in the UK - and the Liverpool Waters dock redevelopment scheme.

Inteb's chairman, Philip Hargreaves, said: 'Inteb is serious about working with the very best low energy and sustainability experts and we are delighted to now have Frank Mills in our team. As the focus increasingly shifts towards zero carbon buildings, it is imperative that developers consider the fabric of their buildings and utilise their natural capacities to cool, heat and retain energy.'

'Inteb is consulting on some of the most exciting developments in the country and will be driving its technical reputation forward with Frank's help,' he added.
