Responsible for overseeing Group operations to deliver a consistent quality service to all Mezzanine International clients across multiple project locations. My role encompasses procurement, production and contracts.

“I focus on delivering our clients' installations on time and on programme. I liaise with customers, understand their exact requirements then populate our planning programmes. Getting mezzanine structures up, as and when agreed with clients, is ultimately down to me. It’s a challenge I relish.”I’m a Director with strong contractual knowledge, with a wealth of experience in leading, managing and working alongside onsite and support services teams within the structural engineering and mezzanine flooring sector. I excel in bringing projects in on time even on the tightest schedules. I am up-to-date with all Health & Safety requirements, am NEBOSH and IPAF certified and have extensive experience working with AutoCad, Navis and MS Project.Two of my top achievements in the last six months in my role as Contracts Director have been to expand our UK installation team five-fold and grow sales on a contract with a major Systems integrator by 60%. In both cases, this growth can be attributed to the solid reputation I have been careful to help build for the Group in my position as a Director. Staff and customers want to work with Mezzanine International Group because ‘we don’t let our clients down’; we make sure we get it right for them from the drawing and procurement all the way through to the installation and the end product. This commitment to our clients is a source of reassurance to them and to the operatives and subcontractors who choose to work as part of our teams.With this growth in numbers, I have grasped every opportunity to hone my commercial management and people development skills. I am equally focused on building the right team around me and motivating our 150 plus installers, as I am on winning more contracts. It also helps that I remain calm under pressure, and am a strong communicator, able to up-date clients on the status of their project, any challenges on the horizon and the solutions we can create to keep their installation team firmly on track.
