Dean Robert Kettlewell - MSc MIOA MAE I.Eng
(Principal Acoustic Consultant & Director)

With a M.Sc. in Applied Acoustics, Dean’s strengths lie not only in his extensive knowledge but also his significant experience in practical implementation of noise control systems. This enables him to relate and converse with people in all fields, levels of management and community groups.

As well as providing consultancy advice, Dean is registered as an expert witness with the Law Society Register of Expert Witnesses and Academy of Experts. Dean has provided his expert opinion in court cases and public inquiries over many years.

Dean has broadened his knowledge over the years within a wide range of specialised areas of acoustics, which complement his earlier `hands-on’ design and practical experience within the field of industrial, environmental and building acoustics.

Before forming NVC Ltd, Dean has worked with other consultancies as Senior and Principle Acoustic Consultant, managing small and large-scale projects within the public and private sectors.

Coupled with this, Dean has led a number of projects examining the issue of low frequency noise and has completed a M.Sc. thesis based on this subject matter.
