A more in depth look at our team, their backgrounds and why they’re best placed to help you on your next project.

With a background in telecommunications and having sold the company I formed in 1989, I decided to retire in 2000. With my new-found riches I decided to extend my house in Redland. I went the usual route: an architect drew up plans and I fired them off to three builders, naturally accepting the lowest quote. How very clever of me…

“No worries Guv. It’ll be sixty grand and we will be out of ’ere in five months!”

Twelve months and £120,000 later the extension was finished and so, pretty much, was I. It was a nightmare, with weeks on end passing with no builders and endless calls ignored. Added to this, as I later found, having trusted these muppets with the keys to my house, pretty much everything I held dear and of value seemed to have disappeared.

I wondered if there might be a better way to have this sort of work done, simply by applying the normal skills of industry – for example: communicate with customers, be honest, use honest and house-trained tradesmen, and do what you say when you say you will. Easy enough you may think. Hmmm…

So here we are, some 25 years later – The ‘Boutique’ local Project Management team.

Asked what my qualifications are, I guess ‘victim’ is the only answer I can give. Supported by my partners Peter and Mike and with 25 years of actually doing stuff behind me.

I have to say, I love what I do. I will never get rich doing it, but when you enjoy getting up for work each day that is a rare and enriching experience.

Peter has spent all of his working life in the construction industry, qualifying as a Chartered Quantity Surveyor in 1977 and becoming a partner with Brendon Penny before spending 10 years as a director with a local residential development company.

For the past 35 years he has acted as a Project / Construction Manager on various contracts ranging from large industrial projects through to smaller new-build and refurbished residential schemes.

Mike has been involved in the construction industry for over 45yrs now which brings a wealth of experience and expertise that no amount of money can buy or academic course can cover.

He has come from a trade background and has Site, Contract and Project Management skills under his belt which ensures the ‘hands on’ quality control needed from procurement to the hand over stages of all our Projects to ensure the customers complete satisfaction.

He joined the practice in 2022 and has enhanced our already established reputation and unique business model.
