Experienced building control surveyor Natalie Harwood, from Ilkeston, has joined Derbyshire Building Control Partnership (DBCP).

Natalie is the latest in a number of new appointments that have been made recently by DBCP, supporting its aim to be the building control service provider of choice in Derbyshire.
With 20 years' experience in the field, she started her career as a trainee with Nottingham City Council in 1999. Prior to that, Natalie completed a shop fitting apprenticeship.
