“I’ve seen what happens when the commercial side isn’t set up properly. Getting it right at the start makes everything easier for everyone.”
Thirty years across residential, education, commercial and rail. Steve oversees live project delivery across the business, making sure programmes are realistic, teams are properly resourced and clients always have a clear point of senior contact.
“I want every client to feel confident that their project is in the right hands. That starts with putting the right people on it.”
