Having been in the construction industry for some 30 years, commencing as a trainee with a land survey company working for Clients such as London underground and Bovis.
My career path then moved to working for Main Contractors such as Berkeley Homes, Tarmac, Wiltshier, Jenner Contractors and Bryen & Langley Limited.
My experience includes the project Management in the construction of new NHS Hospitals, Care Homes, Swimming pools for schools and Local Authorities, together with new flats, houses and Civil Engineering works.
I have specialised in the construction of swimming pools for the past 15 years working with Consultants, and specialist pool providers to provide national and olympic pools, together with public pools.
I have established a specialist main contracting company working within the construction industry so that I can continue with this area of work.
