I have been involved in major hotel refurbishment for the last two years, working with large procurement agencies such as Benjamin West and major hotel chains. The largest installation project was the Waldorf Astoria’s London Syon Park; I was responsible for all furniture installation and also maintained a secondary contract of the Kallima Spa furniture installation. This was a luxury multi million pound complex built next to the historic Syon House, home to The Duke of Northumberland. Heading a small team of installation engineers, my role was to ensure deliveries were complete and installation was implemented to design. I provided continuity, working closely with the designers; importer and the projects team making sure that each stage of the install was competed before the next team were scheduled.
