Eng. Mbui left Atkins in 2019 and founded EDVIK Consulting Kenya Limited (ECKL) to continue providing similar services to clients, but also to release some of his time to pursue other interests, including mentoring and developing young engineers and related professionals in the built environment in the course of providing quality consulting and design services to clients.
