Joined Carpenter Oak: 2020
If you had to pick one, which is your favourite Carpenter Oak project you’ve worked?
British Normandy Memorial – It was an interesting project that resonated with me because of my military background. It was also something that was long overdue.
When not in the yard, what do you enjoy doing?
Trail running adventures with my dog on Dartmoor and the South West Coastal Path.
If stranded on a desert island, which three people would you take?
Bear Gyrlls, to keep you fed and teach you how to build a boat, Craig Charles, complete with record collection for a good soundtrack, Sir David Attenborough, for his stories.
What music do you listen to?
Funk and soul is recreational choice and dance music when I am running. I am a “mood music” person.
What is the funniest film ever made?
It has to be The Hangover
What do you enjoy most about working at Carpenter Oak?
Fortunate to be in the most amazing location where I can run daily. I love the diversity of projects and the way each is embraced with the same creativity and importance, regardless of value or scale.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go – T.S. Elliott
