Summary

Assistant Quantity Surveyor at Bellway Homes. I began my career as a Commercial Graduate after earning a First-Class Honours degree in Business Economics. During Bellway’s two-year Graduate Programme, I gained comprehensive experience across construction, sales, commercial, technical, land, and finance departments. Recognised as Graduate of the Year nationwide, I demonstrated strong commercial acumen and effective stakeholder communication. Currently, I manage commercial aspects of a residential development in Milton Keynes, including tender preparation, sub-contract management, and cost monitoring. I am now seeking to advance further in my career and take on new challenges.
