Ant Allen CEng MIStructE, Technical Director

With a 40-year career in construction and specialist expertise in MMC, structural engineering and structural warranty certification, Ant brings a unique combination of technical rigour and industry insight to the TALO leadership team.

A chartered structural engineer, he has been a member of the Engineering Council and Institution of Structural Engineers for over 30 years. His experience spans new build housing, refurbishment, commercial and leisure developments, and around two decades specialising in MMC.

He has worked across both the public and private sectors, as a lead structural designer for social housing and award-winning architecture, and on forensic interrogation on behalf of major building insurers.

Most recently, Ant played a pivotal role at ICW Group, the UK’s third-largest structural warranty provider, where he led the development of ICW’s MMC accreditation process. He managed a team of warranty surveyors overseeing residential and commercial developments – including housing projects of 300+ units – and worked closely with underwriters to certify MMC systems.

At TALO, Ant will be involved in commercial operations and will provide technical leadership to support developer clients and their design teams from the earliest stage of a project through to completion.

His expertise in structural design will play a central role in ensuring every housebuilding project benefits from a fully integrated and engineered TALO solution, including its new ICW-accredited foundation system and offsite-manufactured timber superstructures.
