About

Programme certainty, every time.

I'm a Project Manager specialising in construction & fit out. Over four years at EB Designs I've progressed from Project Administrator to Project Manager, building Sports Direct, USC, Flannels, GAME and Everlast stores from design through to opening day.

I own the programme, the budget and the contractor teams — typically five or more trades per site — and I'm the client's single point of contact from kick-off to handover. My focus is simple: keep the programme certain, hold the quality bar high, and open every store right first time.
