I joined Core Five in 2017 and work within the Employer’s Agent team. With a background that spans both QS and EA experience, I offer Clients well-rounded, agile advice, always with a focus on proactive cost and programme risk mitigation.

I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of our work, especially when it involves bringing together the individual strengths of a team to deliver the right outcome for our Clients. I lead teams with strong emphasis on communication and empathy – this is crucial to get the best performance out of any project team.

Over the past eight years, I’ve delivered projects across sectors for clients like Native Land, NYU, and Grainger—most recently focusing on commercial offices and complex refurbishments. I’ve been responsible for delivering schemes from £1.6m to £230m, adapting to each challenge.

I particularly enjoy heritage refurbishments, working with local authorities to restore listed buildings. With a background in Earth Science, I bring a strong focus on sustainable, practical, and budget-conscious solutions.

What is the most rewarding part of your role at Core Five?

My joint experience in quantity surveying and contract administration allows me to provide well-rounded, agile advise to my Clients and ensures I’m proactive in mitigating cost issues at all times.

What inspired you to join the construction industry?

For me it was the speed at which the built environment evolves, there’s a constant sense of movement and progress and no two days are the same. I’ve felt this way since the day I started my career and feel the exact same way now because we’re all continually exposed to new challenges, technologies, and evolving practices/regulations. It’s an industry that demands adaptability and rewards curiosity.
