After leaving school I completed a two year Diploma in Building Studies. I then started a management training scheme with the Llewellyn group of companies in 1989, completing work in different departments including Surveying, contracts management, and site management and estimating before specialising in the surveying department.
Whilst working in these departments, I also completed a Higher National Certificate in Building Studies and Chartered Institute Building Exams. In the last twenty years have worked on many and varied projects from new build, shop fitting and refurbishment for Private sector clients, commercial clients and public sector bodies. Therefore bring a varied experience to any project that I work on.
In 2007 while working for Rok Building Ltd the opportunity to run a division of company was possible and took this opportunity to grow the business from a £2m to a £4m business by 2010 with a good local reputation. I have also under taken various training courses including, Health and safety, Site Management, and other Industry based required qualifications.
