About me

Specialising in construction economics for the past 19 years, I have worked for leading industry forecasters, cost consultancies and contractors, to build a comprehensive understanding of industry dynamics across multiple sectors.

Seven years at the Construction Products Association and Experian helped me develop a solid understanding of macro industry drivers, before a move to Mace and Core Five allowed me to build first-hand knowledge of industry dynamics at a micro level. Most recently, my time at global, multidisciplinary consultancy AECOM emphasised the power of collaboration in overcoming challenges and delivering the best possible outcomes.

In 2015, I became the first person in the UK to become a member of the RICS via a research route.
