Managing Director
Roger Brisley MSc
With 20 years experience in architecture and engineering and a strong belief in eco-friendly solutions, Roger then studied for a Masters at Hooke Park College part of the Parham Trust in 1993. This lead to a position at Architen and although he enjoyed designing and managing tensile projects there, he was unhappy with the materials used and had the idea to offer environmentally friendlier tensile structures. Timber Intent was established in 1996, this makes it probably the oldest tensile fabric structure manufacturer in its original guise in the UK. Roger specialises particularly in bespoke design and enjoys the special engineering, detailing and manufacturing challenges of utilising round-wood timber and fabrics in tensile structures.
