Q&A
Q. How has your career at Turner and Townsend developed?
A. I joined Turner & Townsend just after graduating in 1989 and after a time leading our London office, I became Head of Cost Management. I then led the expansion of our international business before being appointed as Chief Executive in 2008 and Chairman in 2015.
Q. Which project are you most proud of being involved in at Turner & Townsend?
A. Inland Revenue Nottingham - at the time in the early 1990s, this was one of the largest projects in the UK. It taught me how great collaboration across the whole supply chain can drive great performance. It was also a path finder in terms of off-site construction and low-carbon design. Both of which I remain passionate about today.
Q. How do you see the business developing over the next five years?
A. I want Turner & Townsend to lead industry change by setting the standard for how major programmes are initiated and delivered. To do this, we'll invest further to develop our global capability, our service model and our people.
