As a Commercial Director at IIT Carpentry, I lead the commercial strategy and oversee the delivery of high-quality projects across the UK. With over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, I have a strong background in quantity surveying, contract management, and cost control. I have successfully managed multiple fit-out and new build projects, ranging from £8m to £25m, for clients such as John Lewis and care home operators. I have also developed and maintained long-term relationships with key stakeholders, suppliers, and subcontractors, ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and value for money. My core competencies include quantity surveying, JCT, NEC contracts, budgeting, forecasting, negotiating, and problem-solving. I am passionate about delivering excellence and innovation in the construction sector, and I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow. I value teamwork, collaboration, and diversity, and I strive to create a positive and supportive work environment for my colleagues and partners.
