Circle combined a detailed knowledge of a projects design, specification and material quantities in order to produce accurate, RICS accredited carbon reporting:
The outcome is our Client’s are equipped with the knowledge to make carbon conscious decisions for the future.
Our custom-built Circle app streamlines service management on-site, while our carbon quantification software demonstrates our commitment to sustainability.
Considering sustainability in project delivery has always been very important to me, as so many buildings are clearly not fit for the future and the scale of the challenge is colossal. I always strive to deliver clients’ visions as efficiently and precisely as possible. I love staying up to date with the latest technologies and knowledge to help me improve my work, whether through reducing environmental impact or achieving more efficient delivery.
I resonate with Circle’s goal to be carbon conscious, as I am fascinated by the potential of green technologies and their adoption in buildings to improve occupier well-being. I’m passionate about making sure buildings work as well in practice as they do on paper, and my postgraduate research focused on bridging this gap. I also make it a priority to stay on top of changing regulations so I can provide clients with clear, proactive advice and deliver robust, resilient solutions.
I firmly believe that carbon optioneering is essential for a successful project and I strive to make clients aware of more carbon‑friendly construction methods. I play a significant role in life‑cycle carbon assessments at Circle, overseeing the production of assessments throughout the company. This role is crucial in mitigating the environmental impact of building projects by considering carbon emissions at all stages, from material extraction to end‑of‑life.
Our focus on carbon at Circle reflects the company’s commitment to leaving a lasting positive impact on construction projects and enabling clients to make fully informed decisions when considering the whole lifecycle of a scheme.

What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
I started my career working on site with various trades, primarily of an MEP background before deciding to become a Quantity Surveyor. Since then, I’ve completed a degree apprenticeship at the University of Greenwich and become a member of the RICS. I’ve worked predominantly on new-build residential, co-living and PBSA projects but have also worked in various other sectors such as education, hotels and leisure, often in listed buildings within central London. Having managed projects through feasibility, procurement, completion and disputes, I have a keen eye for detail and enjoy adding value to projects early on.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
Pre contract, I’m responsible for overseeing the formation of the clients cost plan, as well as management and reporting of any movements, risks and opportunities. Through procurement, I advise on tendering and procurement strategies that align with the clients’ key drivers, market sentiment, and contractor appetite. Post contract, I oversee monthly valuations, EA reports and Cost reports, ensuring clients are up aware of the financial status of the project and briefed on any potential risks or key decisions required.
In addition to keeping an eye on the detail, I believe that the key to successful project delivery is understanding the clients’ aspirations, the projects constraints, the supply chain, and available construction solutions. As such I maintain regular communication with project stakeholders, design consultants, suppliers, sub-contractors and main contractors from project inception to completion.
Describe your experiences and growth at Circle?
Since joining Circle in 2024, I’ve had the opportunity to build on existing experience from both delivery and project oversight perspectives. I’ve been introduced to a variety of new clients, with projects including, BTR, Co-living, PBSA, Heritage, Education and more. Circles project review procedures and regular CPD’s provide great forums to discuss project successes, lessons learnt, and key deliverables, ensuring every project is better than the last and that knowledge is always shared.
What has been your favourite project?
My favourite project so far has been Shore Station, Edinburgh. The project is a mixed-use development consisting of 604 student beds, 18 homes, commercial space and amenity across seven blocks. The site is a conservation area with some listed blocks retained for the development which will require specialist conservation works and provide a range of experience
What brings you joy outside of work?
Outside of work, I’m usually watching the football, spending time with the family or catching up with friends at the pub. I enjoy fitness and training so try to get to the gym as often as I can. When the English weather permits, I can be found making holes in a golf course while trying to perfect my swing! I also love getting away to see new places, from cities breaks to beach holidays, I’m always looking for another place to add to the list.

After completing my studies in Civil Engineering, I embarked on my career in the construction industry. I started by taking on various delivery roles with a Tier 1 Contractor, where I gained valuable experience across a range of sectors including Build-to-Rent and Prime Residential, Leisure, and Defence. During my time with the contractor, I had the opportunity to work as a Structural Design Engineer and even had the chance to work on projects in the Middle East, broadening my experience further.
The diverse projects I’ve been involved in have given me a well-rounded expertise in various aspects of built environment projects, including the technical, commercial, and delivery aspects.
In my role, I have the responsibility of overseeing several key departments within our company, including Project Management, Clerk of Works, and Quality Management. I actively participate in project oversight, offering support to our project teams to ensure that our projects are successful. This often involves attending design meetings and conducting regular site visits to monitor progress and quality.
I play a crucial role in the strategic planning of our projects and our efforts in securing new projects, ensuring our company continues to thrive in the industry.
I initially joined Circle during the company’s early days as a Project Manager. Over time, I worked towards becoming a Chartered Engineer and have since progressed to the position of Director. Throughout my time at the company, I’ve had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects. These include residential schemes like Taberner House and Abbey Place, as well as commercial office fit-outs and the restoration of Listed Buildings.
I have enjoyed the experience of working on the Mountbatten House office refurbishment project, due to its unique construction and the sheer scale of the site. Working on listed buildings like Mountbatten House can be challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. There’s a sense of gratification that comes from being involved in a project from its initial conception all the way through to its successful completion.
As a proud Welshman, it will come as no surprise that I am an avid rugby fan. While my playing days are behind me, my involvement with the sport is now limited to watching from the comfort of the sofa or chasing my son around at Rugby Tots. The rest of my free time is usually spent renovating houses and getting involved in anything construction-related projects. It’s a passion that extends beyond my work and keeps me busy and engaged outside of the office.

I joined Circle in 2021 after completing my sixth form education. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects, both in the pre and post-contract phases. These projects include new build BTR schemes like One Maidenhead, refurbished commercial buildings such as 43 Brook Green or Mountbatten House, and demolition projects like Marlow Demolition, to name a few. I am currently working towards my degree as part of the apprenticeship scheme and am set to graduate in 2025. Following that, I will be working towards my APC in 2026.
My role encompasses a blend of pre and post-commercial work, with a focus on assisting the Quantity Surveyor team in key projects throughout the week. A typical week involves engaging in cost exercises, measurement tasks, conducting interim valuations on-site, and dedicating one day per week to attend university during term time. Recently, I’ve taken on a role supporting Carbon Managers in compiling data for Life Cycle Carbon Assessments and assisting in bringing them together. As an apprentice, I work with the Quantity Surveyor team across all projects to develop a comprehensive skillset in all aspects of the field.
Describe your experiences and growth?
I embarked on my professional journey with no prior experience but have since accumulated a diverse range of experiences across various projects. My time at Circle has exposed me to different situations on different projects, allowing me to collaborate with various consultants. I’m currently an apprentice at Circle as part of the degree apprenticeship scheme, which is equipping me with the necessary skills for the industry. This unique opportunity provides me with both in-depth knowledge through key projects and a broad understanding by involving me in various tasks.

This unique opportunity provides me with both in-depth knowledge through key projects and a broad understanding by involving me in various tasks.
What is your favourite project?
My favourite project is One Maidenhead, a build-to-rent development in Maidenhead comprising 429 apartments. I’ve been involved with this project from its inception, and it’s rewarding to witness the progress of each element as I visit the site for valuations. Since I’m learning on the job, I find this project particularly valuable for my development. I can analyse and learn specific elements of the work, which, when I’m in the office costing a new project, enables me to provide a more accurate cost.
I’m a passionate tennis player, having previously worked as a tennis coach. I enjoy engaging with the sport both as a player and an enthusiast. Running is another interest I’ve taken up, with half or full marathons on the horizon. I’m also a football lover, always keeping up with the weekend fixtures and results.

Construction is inevitably unpredictable, I closely work with everyone around me to advise clients on various obstacles and opportunities from feasibility through to completion, ensuring our clients vision are realised.
What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
I started my career as a Placement student, joining Circle during my third year at Loughborough University. Predominantly relying on academic education, I utilised the gradual exposure from being involved within post-contract residential schemes to gain a greater insight into the role itself. The main sectors I have worked on during my career is residential and commercial.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
My role consists of the entire construction process, from providing clients with costing expertise in the design stages right through to managing both the financial and contractual sides of a post-contract project. I aid within the quantification process of cost plans, allowing for key insights into the estimated price of a specific project, ensuring that the client’s budget expectations are both visualised and maximised. Whilst consistently having efficient communication with the client and contracting teams, I can support my colleagues in costing exercises and decision-making processes. Also, as construction is inevitably unpredictable, I closely work with everyone around me to advise clients on various obstacles and opportunities, allowing for a fluent process of dialogue.
Describe your experiences and growth at Circle?
I commenced my career with Circle as a Placement student from Loughborough University. I have since graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree and have committed to joining the Circle APC Chartership Program. With the consistent support from experienced colleagues, I aim to have achieved my RICS accreditation within 18 months after university. Despite only having a short career thus far, I have aided in progressing multiple projects such as Latitude Purple and Wembley Link, whilst also being heavily involved in a multitude of cost plans.
What has been your favourite project?
My favourite project was Wembley Link, which perfectly balanced a challenging yet insightful workload, enabling me to kick start my career whilst dramatically proving that learning construction in a lecture hall is nothing compared to being on-site in person. The 256-unit scheme located in Wembley Central placed me in the deep end of a construction project, exponentially accelerating my learning curve.
What brings you joy outside of work?
Despite being the completely wrong height for any sport, being the 3rd smallest person in the office, I love to take part in most types of sports including football and running. I also have a passion in attending sports events, in hopes of witnessing Tottenham Hotspur win a trophy before I retire in 40 years’ time. Having recently moved to London, I have taken the opportunity to learning new cooking recipes by eating at various restaurants around the city and attempting to copy them. This plays perfectly in my current favourite hobby, spending time on the weekends visiting new pubs with friends and colleagues

Following a degree from Oxford Brookes University in Real Estate Management, I started my career as a site-based Project Manager focusing on High End Residential Developments for a Private Developer. I then moved to a Consultancy and worked in both Public and Private Sectors across a range of project types including Commercial Offices, Supermarkets, Purpose Built Student Accommodation and Industrial. I have experience of the entire life cycle of a project.
As a Project Manager, my role begins early in the process. We collaborate closely with our clients to review the project brief, assess feasibility, and identify key risks and opportunities. From there, we appoint the most suitable consultant team for the project, which may include Designers, Planners, Solicitors, and others, and lead them through the design development phase. Once the design is complete, we tender the project and enter into a contract with the most appropriate Contractor. This outlines our pre-contract responsibilities.
Post-contract, we act as the Employer’s Agent, executing the contract on behalf of the client. Our duties in this phase include budget management, stakeholder engagement, change control, and quality reviews. We work in close partnership with the Contractor to ensure the project is effectively managed in terms of time, quality, and cost.
Describe your experiences and growth?
I started at Circle in November 2024 and I am currently delivering a mixture of super prime and BTR projects. I am being supported on the Chartership programme by Circle and growing as a professional surrounded by exceptional colleagues, Consultants and Contractors.
What is your favourite project?
Whilst all the projects are rewarding, I am particularly enjoying the Prime Residential project in Central London. I am passionate about exceptional design, best in class workmanship and high-quality materials which this project satisfies.
I enjoy running, surfing and rock ‘n’ roll music.

I began my career after a placement year as an assistant Quantity Surveyor and completed my final year of university part-time through the Circle Apprentice Program. I have a depth of experience in pre- and post-contract activities, having worked on various projects in the commercial, residential, and education sectors. My expertise lies in managing costs and budgets from feasibility to tender and reporting on post-contract expenditure.
My role covers a range of pre and post contract management activities, overseeing Circle’s role as QS / EA and PM on a range of Residential, Commercial and Education projects. Specialising in providing clients with feedback on cost movements, which may be influenced by design changes, market feedback, and legislative amendments. I take full ownership of managing cost plans and contribute to the design ensuring that the client’s budget and buildability being maintained as a priority for clients.

Describe your experiences and growth?
I started with Circle through the Circle apprentice program following two years at university and a placement year. I graduated from university with a First-Class Honors degree and immediately joined the Circle APC Chartership Program. With close support and guidance from Circle, I successfully obtained my RICS accreditation a year and a half after graduating. Throughout my time at Circle, I played a key role in completing various projects, including a 245-unit BTR scheme in Abbey Place, the refurbishment of Westminster School Cricket Pavilion, and refurbishments of multiple offices around the UK, including Birmingham, Glasgow, and South West London. I’m now proud to have progressed to Associate Director.
At Circle, the opportunities for growth are endless, and I’m thrilled to be part of a culture that empowers people to reach their full potential.”
What is your favourite project?
My favourite project was Snow Hill, where I served as the lead QS from feasibility to a successful planning application in Q2 2023.

I kept the client well-informed about the estimated project cost and advised the client on key value engineering opportunities. This landmark project expanded my expertise and experience in construction technology and buildability, involving the use of a bespoke unitised façade due to height restrictions.
My interests revolve around participating in and watching sports. I enjoy playing golf when the weather allows. I also took part in the Royal Parks half marathon, raising money for charity alongside several Circle employees. I am a fair-weather cyclist, having recently cycled in Mallorca and completed the London to Brighton ride with Circle colleagues. I love traveling abroad, with my favourite holiday consisting of a road trip around the Canadian Rockies, which included whale watching, kayaking, and hiking around the turquoise lakes of British Columbia.

I originally started my career as an apprentice site Quantity Surveyor with Tier 1 main contractor Laing O’Rourke, all while pursuing a Quantity Surveying degree. During this time, I gained hands-on experience delivering large, complex projects in aerospace, residential, large-scale commercial regenerations, and healthcare.
I shifted my focus to client-side project delivery, specialising in tendering, procurement, and contract administration. I was at the forefront of the UK build-to-rent sector, overseeing the delivery of one of the first institutionally funded schemes in North Acton.
In 2018, I founded Circle with a clear mission: to simplify the project delivery offering available to clients. I aimed to remove multifaceted teams and instill a detail-focused mindset across all team members. My focus is on continuous improvement and staying ahead of industry advancements, such as the Building Safety Act, while also investing in Circle’s development and positioning in the Carbon Management sector. I proudly received fellowship from RICS in 2022.
As the Managing Director, my role includes overseeing all Circle functions, managing people, business planning, conducting project reviews, and engaging with the supply chain. I also enjoy actively managing projects at key stages, including initial feasibility and procurement, alongside the expert teams within Circle. I take an active role in Life Cycle Carbon Assessments and Life Cycle Costing studies, as I have a deep passion for this emerging sector. My goal is to empower clients with the knowledge they need to make the right decisions for the future.

What is your favourite project?
I don’t have a clear favourite project, but I have recently enjoyed the conversion and repurposing of the Beech Street project in the City of London. I presented Circle’s work to the planning officers, highlighting the analysis, benefits, and comparison of design options. The One Maidenhead BtR project is where I call home, and as a result, I have experienced firsthand the positive impact that this large-scale regeneration can have on town centres. The brickwork looks great from the station platform each morning!
At home, my main hobby is keeping up with two babies and a cockapoo! I have a keen interest in motorsports, having spent over ten years racing superbikes at club level around the UK circuits, starting in the junior 125cc classes and progressing to 600cc before transitioning to off-road trials riding. More recently, I’ve traded big engines and high speeds for the occasional half marathon and coastal walks with my family and fluffy dog.

I began my career in Construction in November 2021 when I, during lockdown, took on the role of Site Carpenter/Site Foreman, working on several home renovations in the south of England. This experience ignited my passion for property development and a strong desire to work in the sector. Building on this, I combined my Accounting and Finance Bachelor’s Degree with my on-site experience, transitioning to a role as a Quantity Surveyor in both residential and commercial sectors. I also have a keen interest in Carbon Quantification and am working towards my BREEAM accreditation. I firmly believe that carbon optioneering is essential for a successful project and strive to make clients aware of more carbon-friendly construction methods.

As a Quantity Surveyor, my responsibilities span financial, contractual administration, and project coordination, ensuring that construction projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. I have a significant role in Life Cycle Carbon Assessments at Circle, overseeing the production of assessments throughout the company. This role is crucial in mitigating the environmental impact of building projects by considering carbon emissions at all stages, from material extraction to end-of-life. Additionally, I take pride in organising the annual Circle ski trip, managing budgets and delivering on expectations.
I joined Circle in May 2022 as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor and Project Manager. Over time, I have evolved into a more prominent Quantity Surveyor and Employers Agent role. I appreciate the flexibility offered by Circle, allowing me to explore and experience various roles within the company. I have gradually taken on more responsibilities in the two post-contract projects I am involved in and aim to continue my development with the company.
Mountbatten House holds a special place as my favourite project for various reasons. The uniqueness of the building itself, the challenge of renovating an existing frame while reducing its carbon footprint, and the rejuvenation of the fantastic garden terraces are all sources of excitement. I envy those who will have the opportunity to work there upon completion. Nonetheless, I hold great respect for my other projects as well.
I’m always eager to dive into various activities, whether it’s sports, dinners, festivals, or nights out. When I’m not dining out or cooking, you’ll find me cycling for outdoor fun or enjoying a few drinks with friends. I’m enthusiastic about using my holidays to explore new countries and cultures. However, there’s nothing wrong with a cozy night in with a takeaway curry to recharge.

I have since graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree and have committed to joining the Circle APC Chartership Program. With the consistent support from experienced colleagues, I aim to have achieved my RICS accreditation within 18 months after university. Despite only having a short career thus far, I have aided in progressing multiple projects such as Latitude Purple and Wembley Link, whilst also being heavily involved in a multitude of cost plans.
What has been your favourite project?
My favourite project was Wembley Link, which perfectly balanced a challenging yet insightful workload, enabling me to kick start my career whilst dramatically proving that learning construction in a lecture hall is nothing compared to being on-site in person. The 256-unit scheme located in Wembley Central placed me in the deep end of a construction project, exponentially accelerating my learning curve.
What brings you joy outside of work?
Despite being the completely wrong height for any sport, being the 3rd smallest person in the office, I love to take part in most types of sports including football and running. I also have a passion in attending sports events, in hopes of witnessing Tottenham Hotspur win a trophy before I retire in 40 years’ time. Having recently moved to London, I have taken the opportunity to learning new cooking recipes by eating at various restaurants around the city and attempting to copy them. This plays perfectly in my current favourite hobby, spending time on the weekends visiting new pubs with friends and colleagues

Following a degree from Oxford Brookes University in Real Estate Management, I started my career as a site-based Project Manager focusing on High End Residential Developments for a Private Developer. I then moved to a Consultancy and worked in both Public and Private Sectors across a range of project types including Commercial Offices, Supermarkets, Purpose Built Student Accommodation and Industrial. I have experience of the entire life cycle of a project.
As a Project Manager, my role begins early in the process. We collaborate closely with our clients to review the project brief, assess feasibility, and identify key risks and opportunities. From there, we appoint the most suitable consultant team for the project, which may include Designers, Planners, Solicitors, and others, and lead them through the design development phase. Once the design is complete, we tender the project and enter into a contract with the most appropriate Contractor. This outlines our pre-contract responsibilities.
Post-contract, we act as the Employer’s Agent, executing the contract on behalf of the client. Our duties in this phase include budget management, stakeholder engagement, change control, and quality reviews. We work in close partnership with the Contractor to ensure the project is effectively managed in terms of time, quality, and cost.
Describe your experiences and growth?
I started at Circle in November 2024 and I am currently delivering a mixture of super prime and BTR projects. I am being supported on the Chartership programme by Circle and growing as a professional surrounded by exceptional colleagues, Consultants and Contractors.
What is your favourite project?
Whilst all the projects are rewarding, I am particularly enjoying the Prime Residential project in Central London. I am passionate about exceptional design, best in class workmanship and high-quality materials which this project satisfies.
I enjoy running, surfing and rock ‘n’ roll music.

I began my career after a placement year as an assistant Quantity Surveyor and completed my final year of university part-time through the Circle Apprentice Program. I have a depth of experience in pre- and post-contract activities, having worked on various projects in the commercial, residential, and education sectors. My expertise lies in managing costs and budgets from feasibility to tender and reporting on post-contract expenditure.
My role covers a range of pre and post contract management activities, overseeing Circle’s role as QS / EA and PM on a range of Residential, Commercial and Education projects. Specialising in providing clients with feedback on cost movements, which may be influenced by design changes, market feedback, and legislative amendments. I take full ownership of managing cost plans and contribute to the design ensuring that the client’s budget and buildability being maintained as a priority for clients.
I maintain close communication with clients, working closely with the design team to assist with decision-making, producing risk and opportunity trackers, movement trackers, and cost exercises. My role also involves tendering various projects, advising clients on the most suitable tender and procurement strategy based on the clients’ specific requirements.
Following my success in Circle’s APC Chartership Programme, I aim to support and guide upcoming employees in achieving their APC Chartership through one-on-one Q&A sessions, mock APC interviews, and reviewing their experiences to ensure they have a wide range of expertise heading into APC interviews.
Describe your experiences and growth?
I started with Circle through the Circle apprentice program following two years at university and a placement year. I graduated from university with a First-Class Honors degree and immediately joined the Circle APC Chartership Program. With close support and guidance from Circle, I successfully obtained my RICS accreditation a year and a half after graduating. Throughout my time at Circle, I played a key role in completing various projects, including a 245-unit BTR scheme in Abbey Place, the refurbishment of Westminster School Cricket Pavilion, and refurbishments of multiple offices around the UK, including Birmingham, Glasgow, and South West London. I’m now proud to have progressed to Associate Director.
At Circle, the opportunities for growth are endless, and I’m thrilled to be part of a culture that empowers people to reach their full potential.”
What is your favourite project?
My favourite project was Snow Hill, where I served as the lead QS from feasibility to a successful planning application in Q2 2023. The 48-storey BTR scheme in the centre of Birmingham brought complexities that I managed by working closely with a team of leading UK design consultants. I kept the client well-informed about the estimated project cost and advised the client on key value engineering opportunities. This landmark project expanded my expertise and experience in construction technology and buildability, involving the use of a bespoke unitised façade due to height restrictions.
My interests revolve around participating in and watching sports. I enjoy playing golf when the weather allows. I also took part in the Royal Parks half marathon, raising money for charity alongside several Circle employees. I am a fair-weather cyclist, having recently cycled in Mallorca and completed the London to Brighton ride with Circle colleagues. I love traveling abroad, with my favourite holiday consisting of a road trip around the Canadian Rockies, which included whale watching, kayaking, and hiking around the turquoise lakes of British Columbia.

I originally started my career as an apprentice site Quantity Surveyor with Tier 1 main contractor Laing O’Rourke, all while pursuing a Quantity Surveying degree. During this time, I gained hands-on experience delivering large, complex projects in aerospace, residential, large-scale commercial regenerations, and healthcare.
I shifted my focus to client-side project delivery, specialising in tendering, procurement, and contract administration. I was at the forefront of the UK build-to-rent sector, overseeing the delivery of one of the first institutionally funded schemes in North Acton.
In 2018, I founded Circle with a clear mission: to simplify the project delivery offering available to clients. I aimed to remove multifaceted teams and instill a detail-focused mindset across all team members. My focus is on continuous improvement and staying ahead of industry advancements, such as the Building Safety Act, while also investing in Circle’s development and positioning in the Carbon Management sector. I proudly received fellowship from RICS in 2022.
As the Managing Director, my role includes overseeing all Circle functions, managing people, business planning, conducting project reviews, and engaging with the supply chain. I also enjoy actively managing projects at key stages, including initial feasibility and procurement, alongside the expert teams within Circle. I take an active role in Life Cycle Carbon Assessments and Life Cycle Costing studies, as I have a deep passion for this emerging sector. My goal is to empower clients with the knowledge they need to make the right decisions for the future.

What is your favourite project?
I don’t have a clear favourite project, but I have recently enjoyed the conversion and repurposing of the Beech Street project in the City of London. I presented Circle’s work to the planning officers, highlighting the analysis, benefits, and comparison of design options. The One Maidenhead BtR project is where I call home, and as a result, I have experienced firsthand the positive impact that this large-scale regeneration can have on town centres. The brickwork looks great from the station platform each morning!
At home, my main hobby is keeping up with two babies and a cockapoo! I have a keen interest in motorsports, having spent over ten years racing superbikes at club level around the UK circuits, starting in the junior 125cc classes and progressing to 600cc before transitioning to off-road trials riding. More recently, I’ve traded big engines and high speeds for the occasional half marathon and coastal walks with my family and fluffy dog.

I began my career in Construction in November 2021 when I, during lockdown, took on the role of Site Carpenter/Site Foreman, working on several home renovations in the south of England. This experience ignited my passion for property development and a strong desire to work in the sector. Building on this, I combined my Accounting and Finance Bachelor’s Degree with my on-site experience, transitioning to a role as a Quantity Surveyor in both residential and commercial sectors. I also have a keen interest in Carbon Quantification and am working towards my BREEAM accreditation. I firmly believe that carbon optioneering is essential for a successful project and strive to make clients aware of more carbon-friendly construction methods.

As a Quantity Surveyor, my responsibilities span financial, contractual administration, and project coordination, ensuring that construction projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. I have a significant role in Life Cycle Carbon Assessments at Circle, overseeing the production of assessments throughout the company. This role is crucial in mitigating the environmental impact of building projects by considering carbon emissions at all stages, from material extraction to end-of-life. Additionally, I take pride in organising the annual Circle ski trip, managing budgets and delivering on expectations.
I joined Circle in May 2022 as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor and Project Manager. Over time, I have evolved into a more prominent Quantity Surveyor and Employers Agent role. I appreciate the flexibility offered by Circle, allowing me to explore and experience various roles within the company. I have gradually taken on more responsibilities in the two post-contract projects I am involved in and aim to continue my development with the company.
Mountbatten House holds a special place as my favourite project for various reasons. The uniqueness of the building itself, the challenge of renovating an existing frame while reducing its carbon footprint, and the rejuvenation of the fantastic garden terraces are all sources of excitement. I envy those who will have the opportunity to work there upon completion. Nonetheless, I hold great respect for my other projects as well.
I’m always eager to dive into various activities, whether it’s sports, dinners, festivals, or nights out. When I’m not dining out or cooking, you’ll find me cycling for outdoor fun or enjoying a few drinks with friends. I’m enthusiastic about using my holidays to explore new countries and cultures. However, there’s nothing wrong with a cozy night in with a takeaway curry to recharge.

I am an RICS Chartered Project Manager with experience representing clients in both the UK and South African residential markets. Over the past few years, I have specialised in delivering airspace residential developments in the UK, building on top of existing high-rise schemes, managing the challenges of constructing above fully occupied homes, navigating evolving fire regulations, and finding creative ways to improve programme efficiency.
With my move to consultancy in Autumn 2025, I plan to leverage my client-side experience to better anticipate clients’ needs, from exemplary service delivery to effective relationship management.
As a Senior Project Manager, I deliver projects from RIBA Stage 3 to Stage 6 by managing the programme, budget, and risks in line with client requirements. I am energised by building strong teams through positive relationships and aligned goals. I report to key stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle and provide clients with timely advice to support informed decision-making, ensuring projects are delivered to the highest standard, with efficiency and collaboration.
I joined the Circle team in September 2025 and am looking forward to growing my expertise, sharing knowledge, and playing an active role in the success of our projects.
I resonate with Circle’s goal to be carbon conscious, as I am fascinated by the potential of green technologies and their adoption in buildings to improve occupier well-being. I’m passionate about making sure buildings work as well in practice as they do on paper, and my postgraduate research focused on bridging this gap. I also make it a priority to stay on top of changing regulations so I can provide clients with clear, proactive advice and deliver robust, resilient solutions.
I am an avid sportswoman, with tennis and cycling as my go-to activities. I’m always on the lookout for my next cycle tour, using it as a way to explore different countries. Completing the Ironman 70.3 in Luxembourg sparked my love for triathlons, which has since become one of my top passions. I also enjoy painting and sketching as a creative escape.
