As its name suggests, the Wembley Link project is conceived as a crossover between new developments around north London’s Wembley Central station and emerging ones in nearby Wembley Park. Wembley Link will provide 256 mixed-tenure units in two buildings, of 17 and 19 storeys.
Our early involvement resulted in efficiencies and cost savings, and in pre-planning we procured an enabling works package. Post-planning, we managed a two-stage tender process. Work is ongoing

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 started my career based on site to operational side, initially providing general labour, progressing through the various site levels eventually achieving the position of Site Manager on large new build residential projects across London. During my time as a Site Manager, I have delivered large scale residential projects for Tier 1 contractors across London being involved in majority of the construction stages and overlooking all trades from groundworks through to the finishing touches.
My role includes is to work across multiple projects raising quality standards and the expectations of contractors and sub-contractors of what is and isn’t acceptable. Also, demonstrating and making sure the works are in line with both design and specifications, and British Standards.
I started as a Clerk of Works in 2020 and I progressed in this time by developing new competences being registered with the most prestigious institution within the quality control sector and the reputation spans far and wide, The Institute of Clerk of Works and Construction Inspectorate of Great Britain (ICWCI), enrolled onto the Clerk of Works course with Wolverhampton University.
My favourite project is One Maidenhead, a build to rent development in Maidenhead consisting of 429 apartments, ground floor shops and restaurants over four buildings. Having been involved from the very start, overseeing quality and compliance through the project on daily and weekly site visits to undertake inspections and rise observations concerning Health, Safety & Welfare, Temporary Works, Quality, Environmental or Design and reporting to the Employer’s Agent. Also, being involved in façade inspections from the first fix up to final inspection prior mast climber dismantle.
As an active social individual, I enjoy going to gym, running and play football on weekly basis because these sports keep me in shape, challenge my physical limits and strengthen my team work skills as I use to do in early days when I played rugby for my local team. Also, in my spare time I enjoy to socialising and cooking delicious dishes for family and friends. Another passion which relaxes me is photography and videography, sometimes creating memorable pictures and videos for those around me.

I began my career working for a Main Contractor on site as a QS in Purpose Built Student Accommodation, managing subcontractors on a daily basis. I then joined Circle in 2020 to move to client side, taking a focus in carrying out the Employer’s Agent / Contract Administration role and Cost Consultancy within the residential, education and heritage sectors. Recently, I have taken an interest in the way that carbon can be reduced and mitigated by way of carbon management within the built environment, providing advise to clients on how to build greener for their developments.
I have a blend of both pre and post contract projects at Circle. The day to day role on the pre-contract project includes carrying out tendering and procurement with main contractors, cost exercises and keeping open dialogue with our supply chain to keep control of any materials cost variations. On post-contract projects, I undertake roles such the Employer’s Agent / Contract Administrator on behalf of clients, ensuring the contract is being adhered to by all parties party to it. I oversee the commercial aspects of projects and advise our clients on the best ways to proceed and overcome any obstacles that naturally arise on developments.
I started Circle as a Graduate QS and has since then progressed to a Quantity Surveyor, I enjoy the daily challenges which are presented to him whilst working at Circle. The Circle team are close knit, which means that opportunity to experience an array of different experience is given, along with the responsibility of making decisions and face to face exposure with clients from early within my career.
My favourite project has been Wembley Link which is a 256 home BtR scheme, I was present for the first pile being installed and will be present when the last tree is planted within the extensive external works, this was also my first project at Circle so it will also be remembered. The opportunity to learn, with the senior team at Circle overseeing the project, but allowing me to take the lead in decision making and advising my client was invaluable to my learning, whilst also ensuring our clients had the best quality service.
I am an avid sports fan, primarily Rugby and Cricket who can often been found on a Saturday at Old Deer Park watching London Welsh play rugby. I am also a keen cyclist which is often how Saturday mornings are spent in and around London with friends. When I am not in London I am often back in Pembrokeshire (where I grew up) on my parents farm, usually causing more hinderance then help.
I enjoy socialising in the evening and on weekends around London making the most of the great pubs and many of restaurants that London has to offer.

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.

My professional journey began with a placement at Circle, where I contributed to the delivery of residential and commercial developments across the UK. My work now spans a diverse range of schemes, including sustainable redevelopments, Grade II listed retrofits, timber-framed office buildings, and large-scale residential new builds.
As a Cost and Carbon Consultant, I specialise in early-stage quantification, costing, carbon management, and the implementation of risk and cost control measures throughout the project lifecycle. My expertise is reflected in the delivery of project feasibility analyses, life-cycle assessments, interim payment certifications, and detailed cost reporting to clients.
As an Assistant Quantity Surveyor, I play a multifaceted role that spans both the pre- and post-contract stages of a project. I work closely with the senior QS team, contributing to a variety of tasks while also taking independent responsibility where appropriate. My role requires flexibility, attention to detail, and a strong understanding of both commercial and technical project aspects.
My responsibilities pre-contract include supporting the preparation of pre-qualification questionnaires, tender documents, and feasibility studies, as well as carrying out cost exercises in response to design changes. I also assist in the preparation of life cycle assessments for planning submissions and BREEAM accreditation. On the post-contract side, I help with interim valuations and produce cost and cash flow reports for clients. I am actively involved in change control processes, including tracking and documenting variations to the contract ensuring cost implications are clearly communicated and well managed throughout the project.
My journey at Circle began during my placement year, when I had limited industry experience and was just starting to understand how the principles I had studied applied in practice. That year proved invaluable, providing me with real-world context to take into my final year of university making the academic content far more relatable.
After graduating I returned to Circle and transitioned from a trainee to an Assistant Quantity Surveyor. With that step came increased responsibility and ownership of tasks, while still being supported and guided by a knowledgeable team. I’ve since developed both my technical and professional capabilities across a range of projects, becoming more confident in handling day-to-day QS duties and client interactions.
I’m now preparing to embark on the APC Quantity Surveying pathway toward chartership. I see this next stage as a natural progression of the growth I’ve experienced so far, and I’m committed to continuing to build on the strong foundation Circle has helped me establish.
I really enjoyed the Wembley Link project, a prominent build-to-rent development, from the moment I joined the company. My involvement in this venture, which encompasses 245 apartments, was a rewarding journey filled with numerous challenges that provided valuable learning opportunities for myself. Additionally, the stunning stadium view makes this residential building truly stand out as a premium landmark in the area.
Since re-joining the company, I have been deeply engaged with the Water Lane scheme, a significant build-to-rent development in Leeds focused on delivering a high-quality residential experience. My involvement in this project, which will deliver 375 new homes on a former car park site, has been both rewarding and challenging. It has provided valuable opportunities to enhance my skills in ongoing contract management and client engagement. I particularly value this role as it has allowed me to take ownership of complex tasks, deepen my understanding of the construction process, and grow professionally within a dynamic and supportive environment.
Outside of my professional commitments, I have a strong dedication to music and sports. I perform as a disc jockey with my own collective, organising events throughout the UK, which allows me to engage creatively and foster cultural experiences. Additionally, I am an enthusiastic participant of ultimate frisbee, a sport I both played and coached at university, which I now plan to continue within London scene.
