I have provided commercial management, claims management, defending claims, claims preparation, contract reviews and advice covering a variety of different sectors and schemes over theist 20+ years.My background experience derives from operating at a senior level within large main contractors. More recently I have held a consultancy role where I have been trusted to lead parties negotiations across a range of development agreements and construction contracts whilst ensuring clients are fully briefed and aware of the associated risks. In order to combat residual risk I prepare a plan with alternative options to ensure the contract agreement runs smoothly. This approach has saved companies over the years a significant amount of resource, time and cost.I am a panel member on several adjudicator nominating bodies including: RICS, CIC, and UK Adjudicators. I act as a quantum expert and have undertaken both single joint expert (court appointed) and party direct or representative appointed expert roles. Show less

As one of London's major developers I felt that it would be beneficial if we took a lead on helping to shape realistic aims regarding S106 aspirations. I worked with Chloe Halpin at the NSAfC which resulted in the Berkeley Group becoming the first developer to be NSAfC accredited. This demonstrated Berkeley's commitment to engage with the local workforce and provide employment opportunities, along with up-skilling the existing workforce. Show less
