Project Manager

I have worked in client-side project and estate management for 10 years, at the City of London Corporation (2013-16) and Durham Cathedral (2016-23).

Now in private practice, I work as project manager and employer's agent/ clerk of work. I work predominantly with returning clients who value my clear and concise communications, my reliability and experience. 

I excel at stakeholder engagement and connecting with people. Through my conservation and heritage planning work, I am well connected and trusted both in the North East of England and UK-wide.
