With nearly 20 years of “on tools” experience as a carpenter and set builder, i become particularly passionate about the temporary events/arts/exhibition sector, and this is where I really saw my career take off, and my passion for the industry grow stronger.After taking on such roles as Site Manager and Project Manager, for large heritage fit-out projects, I found myself moving towards the more permanent commercial fit-out market.Keen to explore pastures new, I pushed the boundaries of my ambitions, and decided to come out of my comfort zone where I saw myself successfully taken roles as Senior Estimator, all the way to Estimating Manager, in a subcontract and Tier-1 main contractor environment, where I was tasked with tendering for winning bids for upwards to £50M.After a 4 year “sabbatical” from heritage exhibition fit-out, I return to the sector I’m most passionate about and bringing back with me a new wealth of knowledge and experience, where I could apply this back into what I enjoy the most, thus leading me into my most exciting and prestigious role to date, as I head the the projects department of a 10 strong team!This role sees me play a key strategic partner in an already striving Senior Management Team, where we look to development and streamline the future success of the departments and of course, overall over company growth and profitability.
