I am a Partner in our London office, specialising in the successful cost management of challenging and complex schemes. I take great pleasure in leading our teams through the development and construction process, collaboratively challenging both us and the wider consultant and contractor teams to deliver the very best we can. In 2023 I became a member of the Management Board at Core Five and bring this same approach to the leadership team in the firm.

My recent work at Core Five has included Bankside Yards, a large masterplan scheme for Native Land that encompasses working around significant Network Rail and UKPN assets, and a variety of other projects with clients including Helical, GPE, M3, Platform,

Morgan Capital, Patrizia, and many others. I am passionate about using our data and intelligence to achieve each Client’s unique definition of value on every scheme.

I originally graduated from the University of Cambridge, receiving a BA (Hons) and CASM in Mathematics, and subsequently received an MSc in Surveying from the University College of Estate Management.

What do you think is the biggest opportunity for our industry in the next 10 years?

I think tackling embodied carbon will be the defining challenge for our industry over the next decade. Accurately assessing it, and managing the impact on design and cost is essential. If we get it right there’s a real opportunity for the built environment to lead other industries.

What is your favourite building and why?

Aside from all the projects I’ve been involved in myself it would have to be Churchill College Cambridge by Sheppard Robson. It’s a 60s brutalist concrete / copper / timber masterpiece which isn’t to everyone‘s taste, but I love it, and it’s what got me into working in the built environment in the first place!
