We are delighted to announce that Matt Williams has joined the ever expanding Wessex Archaeology team. Matt will be based at our new premises in Welshpool where he will take up the post of Business Manager, Wales. Matt is already well known to many of us at Wessex from his many appearances on Time Team, where his experimental archaeology cameos were always a treat – Matt’s role as a Navvy is a must see! Matt also presents Digging for Britain with Alice Roberts.
Prior to joining Wessex Matt was a director and manager with L-P Heritage for 14 years, which he helped expand from a small consultancy to a national fieldwork unit and also set up their Shrewsbury office. Matt’s other roles included leading on heritage consultancy and developing and managing the fieldwork team.
Matt will now focus his attention on developing WA Cymru and managing heritage, geophysics and fieldwork projects; Matt has already started work on projects in Anglesey, the Welsh borders and for HS2. We are all looking forward to working with Matt and seeing the Welsh office prosper.
