Project Experience

“Nick reported to me while I was Head of SMB JV and was specifically recruited into my Head of Commercial role. This was achieved from a recruitment process where Nick stood out from the crowd with his experience and proven delivery within more complex client relationships. I was very pleased with how quickly Nick fitted into the team and he soon became a key member of my Leadership team. His thorough and challenging commercial eye for detail and how to get the best out of his team, quickly improved performance. He also has impressive stakeholder engagements skills and effectively influenced decision making to the benefit of the JV. I would not hesitate to employ Nick again or to work alongside him.”

“Nick worked for me as my Commercial Director for a period of virtually two years when I was MD at Ringway and was entirely up to date with the technical and managerial side of the role. He is a very good communicator and goes out of his way to make regular contact with all stakeholders. He does this both face to face, via email and checks in with everyone regularly on the telephone.

Nick is a self-starter and thinks his way through every project he undertakes with very little need for supervision. He is very organised and is up to date with, and utilises all current processes, systems and software. We produced a business plan for his role and utilised clear governance processes to show delivery.

Nick was always very focused on delivering to time and budget. He monitored all costs daily and utilised clear reports at governance meeting to demonstrate this. He always clearly identified and managed service and project risks. These risks were mitigated, and Nick held reserve plans to deal with any exit strategy.

He brought many new ideas and processes to his role and developed new ways of working. He also recruited many new staff and trained them to work within the same ethos.”

“Nick worked for me for almost 2 years and performed exceptionally well as the Biwater Group’s commercial change Director.
This was an important time for the Group as we needed help in migrating to a new Group Wide Construction based ERP solution and automation of many of our processes.

Nick is very skilled in change management, stakeholder engagement, process re-engineering and project management. Due to his exceptional work ethic, influencing skills and professional & diligent approach, our project was a success.
Within a short space of time, Nick was able to understand the Groups issues and help me modernise our front and back-office systems and introduce a world-class risk management environment integrating our construction business cycle.”

“I worked with Nick for almost 4 years. He is a versatile and reliable individual whose expertise underlies his enthusiasm and ability to explain in simple terms the most complex of technical issues. Someone you would always want on your team in a technical or sales environment. It is a real pleasure to have worked with someone who I would happily work with again in the future.”

“Nick is a highly capable project manager, focused on delivering to time and budget by monitoring all costs daily and using clear reports at governance meetings to demonstrate this. He clearly identified and managed service and project risks, mitigating them and holding reserve plans to deal with any exit strategy. He brought many new ideas and processes to his role and developed new ways of working, recruiting and training new staff to work within the same ethos.”

“We used Nick’s services in Kent to mobilise our Term Maintenance Contract. Nick’s skills and experience were invaluable to us – he has an eye for the detail and delivers without question. The application of his commercial foresight – through to IT systems enablement were invaluable. I would thoroughly recommend his services.”

“Nick has a very rare combination of skills for our industry. He is very switched on technically and commercially and has excellent communication skills to get his ideas across.  He has the desired end result in mind and co-operates with everyone to achieve it.”
