Arup board member and trustee, Dervilla Mitchell, was presented with an honorary CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) from Greg Clark, the Minister for Universities, Science and Cities.
Dervilla has successfully delivered several technically challenging major projects. Most notably, she was the Arup lead for Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 (2000 to 2006), the largest construction project in Europe at the time. She was also the Arup structural team leader for the technically complex and high profile Portcullis House project in Westminster and led the Arup team providing input on the concept for the Athletes’ Village in Stratford.
