Speaking about his appointment, Mr Skoczylas said: "I was looking for an opportunity to utilise my international experience, which also provided a variety of projects and scope to help me grow and develop in the future. Morgan Tucker is the perfect choice for that, as it has a strong basis in drainage and flooding design, with real ambition for future development and growth, so I'm hoping to build on that as well as branch out into other specialists areas including surge, water hammer and irrigation."
