The director/senior building surveyor/project manager at Academy Estate Consultants and vice-chair for the CIOB Chelmsford Hub Committee talks about his love of construction and the importance of training.
Why did you choose construction?
I always enjoyed helping my dad undertake various DIY tasks – I liked the sense of accomplishment that came at the end. As a teenager I also liked the idea of working with my hands. So I trained as a carpenter when I left school and the rest is history.
You’ve made rapid progress in your career: MCIOB and vice chair of Chelmsford Hub in a short space of time. What are your goals for your career?
I am very fortunate to have been surrounded by team members that inspire me. I made a decision very early on in my career that I would make the most of opportunities put in front of me and take it as far as I can.
Since becoming chartered, I have thought long term about fellowship. As well as being in a position where I can implement positive change. Right now I am focused on my role at a regional level, but I hope one day to help the profession at a national. And maybe, international level.
