Ever since I was a boy I have had an undying passion for buildings. At 16, I was already working on building sites during the school holidays.

I originally wanted to be an Architect but realised that I was more interested in the way buildings worked, how they were used and how they serve the people and organisations that occupy and use them. So I followed my passion with BSc degree in Building Surveying, before gaining my Royal Charter from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in 1986.

In 1991 and in the middle of the worst property recession in the UK since World War 2, I, along with two partners established TMD Building Consultancy a multi-award winning building surveying and project management consultancy. TMD is still going strong and celebrated its 30th birthday in 2021. 

I have worked on historical and National Trust monuments, some dating back over 600 years. I have repurposed buildings at the end of their useful life as well as  constructing new state of the art facilities. I have worked on palaces, castles, hotels, casino’s, factories, offices, data centres, schools, churches, stadia, hospitals, hotels, theatres and even a zoo!

I have experience in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Mozambique, Botswana, Lesotho and Zimbabwe as well as further afield in  Malaysia, Jordan, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. 

I have contributed to global workplace reports and publications had and continue to have articles published in industry journals. I have delivered presentations and keynotes on Workplace and FM at the Euro FM conference in Madrid and Holland, FMCE conference in Kenya and Botswana, RICS Africa Summit, SAFMA Conventions and the FM Expo in South Africa.

I am Married to Lynn and the proud co-founder of 3 Child Start-ups in 3 years; Tyler, Jessica, and Callum.
