New Bailey Masterplan, Salford

I’m passionate about the transformation of spaces into vibrant community assets – I’m particularly interested in projects that involve the refurbishment and the regeneration of places. I thrive on the journey, from initially envisioning a site or building’s potential to seeing it through the various work stages to successful completion and handover.

Away from work, you can find me staying active and keeping fit. I love spending quality time with my wife and our young son, whether we are travelling, exploring the outdoors, or enjoying family activities. Balancing work and family life is important to me, and I strive to bring that same energy and dedication to everything I do professionally.

My particular focus at work is within the heritage and residential sectors where there tends to be a lot of complexity and and risks to identify and mitigate. As a keen learner, I’m always looking to improve my knowledge which is essential in sectors where technology and legislation is ever-changing.

When I’m not at work, I’m usually spending quality time with my daughter, and our two cats, Belle and Rupert.

I thrive on the dynamic nature of Project Management; no two days are the same in our industry. I like to build strong and lasting relationships with colleagues and project teams – and have some fun along the way. I love to solve problems, using detail and analytical approaches to help work through challenges. Standing back and seeing the physical results of the hard work put in on a project by the team is rewarding; just like completing my lego sets when I was young!

When not following my beloved Middlesbrough FC (where I’ve had a season ticket for over 30 years), I enjoy family time. I live to keep my daughters happy; often playing taxi for their various classes and competitions and supporting their obsessions for Disney. In any other spare time, I can be found outdoors or fishing.

When it comes to making a difference, I find complex projects with lots of stakeholders and potential challenges among the most rewarding. I work across a variety of sectors, on projects ranging from listed buildings right through to major regeneration and residential masterplans, manufacturing sites and laboratories. I enjoy the relationship-building aspect of my work and I strive to foster open communication with my clients, which ultimately sets the tone for a strong project team.

Outside of work, family time in the Lake District and supporting Newcastle United are the things that bring me the most enjoyment.
