BSc in Quantity Surveying (1980)Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.After graduating in 1980, I joined Davis Belfield & Everest where I carried out a wide variety of work until qualifying as an Associate of the RICS in 1983. I remained with the firm until 1986 when I moved to a small practice outside London, where my work was principally in the public sector. In 1988, I was invited to return to DB&E where I remained until 2012.In 2012, I joined Deloitte Real Estate's Construction Cost Management team.During my long career, I gained experience in a wide range of construction projects for Private, Government and quasi-government, local and international Clients. In the early 1990’s, Commercial Interiors (the fitting out of office space for end users), began to evolve as a specialist sector within the inductry and I devoted much of my time to office fit-out projects. For the last twenty years of my career, I specialised in this area of work and completed numerous major projects for Legal Practices, Banks and other corporate organisations.I acted as Supervisor and Counsellor to many RICS candidates and achieved a high success rate in the APC.I retired in December 2018.
