Amphora was founded in 2002, as a Queen’s University spin out, by Professors Muhammad Basheer and Adrian Long OBE, developing innovative testing technology and providing world leading material science consultancy. Much of its early work revolved around the preservation of existing structures, particularly concrete and historic stone.

The founders’ international reputation led Amphora to be involved in projects including the Beijing Birds Nest Stadium, Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway, Wardian London and Palais d’Iéna in Paris. As Amphora continues to evolve as a business, we continue our strong links with academia, working closely with our partner institutions; Queen’s University Belfast, Heriot-Watt and Leeds University. Our focused teams have a flair for lateral thinking, for looking beyond the every day and focussing on design solutions which, not only deliver today but are just as outstanding tomorrow.

What sets us apart is that all our directors and senior people have hands-on input to developing projects as well as managing them – regardless of how large or small the assignment. Our senior leadership team have the focus and breadth of experience to exceed the expected outcomes for our clients. They have successfully led and delivered significant and challenging projects across the entire development cycle of the built environment.

Guided by senior management, all members of the Amphora team will demonstrate the same enthusiasm and first-class ability to make your project a resounding success.
