About

I have worked on many projects working across the whole spectrum of the Construction Industry. I have worked in New Build Housing for Jones/ Emersons and Fearnley. Then I moved into building commercial builds like Urbis/ The Imperial War museum/Chill Factre and the Commonwealth Games Stadium.

I also worked on the construction major hospital builds like Manchester Children`s Hospital/ St James Oncology/ St Helens and Whiston Hospitals. My involvement in building Europe’s biggest Container Ports have been major achievements too. I have worked with big budgets and smaller budgets but always tried to achieve best quality and service.

I hope to bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to any company.
