Accomplishments

My most significant recent achievement was the completion as site manager of the Millfield project for Boningale Homes in Albrighton. This development comprised 167 detached, semi-detached and three-storey dwellings, completed Jan 2026.

In my previous role as director, I successfully developed a single-storey dwelling into a two-storey million-pound property. I oversaw all aspects from customer communication to building control inspections and completion certifications.

Throughout my football career, I have won numerous trophies and, as captain of some of those teams, I have also played in the veterans European cup in Portugal 6 times and we have won that 4 times.

I believe the team environment has also contributed to my professional development.

Golf has been a significant part of my life and winning trophies in two club championships has been one of my greatest achievements. This experience also helped me develop the ability to perform under pressure in a solo perspective.
