FLOORPLANS NORTH - Key Persons

Paul Mann has been living around the Skipton area since 2002, drawing plans since the age of 5, and might describe himself as a visio-spatial engineer if such exists. He studied Geology at Oxford, spent several years working as an archaeologist where he was quickly deployed to historic buildings (including being thrown in at the deep end during redevelopments at Somerset House), and is now working to complete a Masters degree course in Geomatics (the trendy name for surveying) at Glasgow University. He enjoys getting out on and even into the hills, variously walking, orienteering and caving. (Yes he maps and photographs the caves too). He is married to Joanne Whistler, they have a son Oliver, and twin daughters Rose and Pippa.
