His customers included Airbus, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, with whom he worked to incorporate advanced, recently developed materials into their aircraft structures.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan joined Hawkins in January 2007, where he trained in the investigation of fires and explosions to add to his engineering expertise. Jonathan has now been involved with a broad range of forensic engineering investigations, including materials failures, escapes of water and other fluids, personal injury cases, property break-ins and component failures in machinery and appliances. He specialises in materials issues, particularly with composites and non-metals. He has investigated numerous fires and explosions in residential, commercial and industrial premises.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan has experience with the legal process and has been involved in producing statements and giving advice to the Police, loss adjusters, lawyers and the Fire Service. He has given expert witness evidence in Court.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan is a Principal Associate and the Regional Manager of our Manchester Office.<\/p>\n<svg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' width='559.5' height='9' viewBox='0 0 559.5 9'><g id='Group_528' data-name='Group 528' transform='translate(-997 -4839)'><line id='Line_40' data-name='Line 40' x2='554.5' transform='translate(997 4843.5)' fill='none' stroke='#007aa3' stroke-width='1'\/><circle id='Ellipse_27' data-name='Ellipse 27' cx='4.5' cy='4.5' r='4.5' transform='translate(1547.5 4839)' fill='#007aa3'\/><\/g><\/svg><label>Qualifications<\/label><p>BEng (Hons) Materials Engineering - Loughborough University<br \/>\nCEng Chartered Engineer<br \/>\nMIMMM Professional Member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining<br \/>\nRecipient of the Cardiff University Law School Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='member_block' data-id='8185'><div class='member_img_block'><a href='javascript:void(0)' class='ajax-clickx' data-id='8185' style='pointer-events: none;'><img src='https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Mark-Turner-860x490-1.jpg' alt='Mr Mark Turner'><\/a><\/div><div class='member_details'><label class=\"ajax-clickx\" style=\"pointer-events: none;\"><h4><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Mr Mark Turner<\/a><\/h4><\/label><p>Principal Associate<\/p><ul class='callNumber'><li><a href='tel:+44 1223 420 400'>+44 1223 420 400<\/a><\/li><\/ul><a href='mailto:mark.turner@hawkins.biz' class='mail'>Email me<\/a><label class='location'><a href='https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/contact\/hawkins-offices\/#cambridge'>Cambridge Office<\/a><\/label><\/div><div class='leadership_modal' id='modal-8185'><button class=''><svg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' width='31.283' height='31.281' viewBox='0 0 31.283 31.281'><g id='Group_533' data-name='Group 533' transform='translate(-1323.095 -27.422)'><path id='Path_1015' data-name='Path 1015' d='M-13769.209-22826.719l30.434-30.434' transform='translate(15092.728 22884.998)' fill='none' stroke='#fff' stroke-width='1.2'\/><path id='Path_1016' data-name='Path 1016' d='M0,30.434,30.432,0' transform='translate(1353.953 27.847) rotate(90)' fill='none' stroke='#fff' stroke-width='1.2'\/><\/g><\/svg><\/button><div class='container'><div class='left_col'><img src='https:\/\/www.hawkins.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Mark-Turner-860x490-1.jpg' alt='Mr Mark Turner'><div class='member_details'><label class=\"ajax-click\"><h4>Mr Mark Turner<\/h4><\/label><p>Principal Associate<\/p><ul class='callNumber'><li><a href='tel:+44 1223 420 400'>+44 1223 420 400<\/a><\/li><\/ul><a href='mailto:mark.turner@hawkins.biz' class='mail'>Email me<\/a><\/div><svg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' width='362' height='9' viewBox='0 0 362 9'><g id='Group_553' data-name='Group 553' transform='translate(-997 -4839)'><line id='Line_40' data-name='Line 40' x2='357' transform='translate(997 4843.5)' fill='none' stroke='#007aa3' stroke-width='1'\/><circle id='Ellipse_27' data-name='Ellipse 27' cx='4.5' cy='4.5' r='4.5' transform='translate(1350 4839)' fill='#007aa3'\/><\/g><\/svg><label class='location'>Cambridge Office<\/label><\/div><div class='right_col'><p>After completing\u00a0his degree in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of\u00a0Sheffield, Mark worked as a Project Engineer at one of the UK&#8217;s leading engineering investigation companies.
