Matt Bishop
Managing Director
With a career spanning over two decades in construction, Matt Bishop has been at the forefront of engineering innovation. He spent the last 15 years leading a consultancy, focusing on enhancing commercial interiors and improving earthquake safety. This required a strong fundamental understanding of structural mechanics and international building code compliance, but also the ability to build a team, not only engineers but also sales, finance, admin and technology people, working together to produce simple, readable deliverables for clients in the demanding construction market. Shifting gears, Matt ventured into technology, creating PRENGUIN, a software platform revolutionising the way commercial interiors are designed and regulated. This move proved his ability to blend engineering expertise with modern technology, simplifying complex processes in the construction industry.
