After starting my career way back in 2004 as a carpentry apprentice, I moved through the city and guilds pathway in the UK and became a qualified carpenter in 2007. With the majority of my focus being on Heritage properties in the southwest of England. With a select few projects in France/Spain. I had also gained a lot of experience working in the new build sector, along with being workshop based for some time. After settling in Western Australia in 2017 I worked with Colgan industries (Heritage carpentry) on a number of Projects, including clock towers, monastery, town halls etc, with a number of apprentices under my supervision. Moving to Auckland, NZ, in 2018 I worked for a number of small fitout/construction companies before moving into a Facilities Management role with Meka Management, involving pre construction planning, budgeting, building maintenance, building compliance, consent management etc. With this role often being hands on during projects I often undertake maintenance/carpentry related items myself across the portfolio. Whilst working as part of a team who oversaw multiple hospitality/Retail based fit-outs, becoming qualified in Project Management in March 2023.
