Championing Skills, Inclusion, and Innovation in Construction

With decades of experience supporting the construction industry, I’m passionate about creating a skilled, competent, and inclusive workforce that meets the challenges of today—and tomorrow.  

The construction sector is evolving rapidly. From attracting the right talent to developing future-ready skills systems, I work to empower individuals and businesses to thrive in this dynamic landscape.  

At CITB, our mission is simple:  
- Attracting talent: Inspiring the next generation to join and succeed in construction.  
- Developing skills: Building a training and development system aligned with the industry’s needs.  
- Driving inclusion: Ensuring the workforce is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.  
- Supporting growth: Providing robust resources for workforce training and development.  

How I can support you:
Whether you’re an employer, training provider, or industry advocate, I’m here to connect, collaborate, and create opportunities that drive meaningful change. I specialise in:  
- Partnering with businesses to address skills gaps.  
- Promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion across the workforce.  
- Leading initiatives like the Top 100 Women in Construction Awards to spotlight talent and drive positive change as well as the Neurodiversity research in the industry.

What I bring to the table
Community building: I’ve led initiatives that bring people together, from grassroots efforts to national campaigns, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.
Neurodiversity advocacy: Through training and education programs, I help organisations better understand and support neurodivergent individuals, creating workplaces that are not just accommodating but empowering.
Leadership and results: As a leader in engagement, I’ve guided teams to deliver tangible outcomes, from fostering employer networks to supporting workforce development projects.
Mental health advocacy: As a trustee with Mates in Mind, I’m committed to improving mental health awareness and support across the construction sector.

I’m always excited to hear from people who share my commitment to innovation, inclusion, and growth in the construction industry.

HR & Employment Law Support 

You came for the Jokes so lets start there :

Burnt my Hawaiian pizza last night...should’ve put it on aloha setting

Just downloaded the soundtrack to Titanic, Its Syncing now. 

I have a russian friend who is a sound technician, and a czech one too. A czech one too.

Ok so I’m a proud Evertonian, born and raised in Liverpool, and a dad to one wonderful (and yes, expensive!) teenage daughter who has just started university.

Initially, I was passionate about forensic science and blood spatter analysis (think Dexter, but without the murder). But during my time at university, I found myself drawn to sales.

I started by selling myself (no, not like that!). You know what they say—people buy from those they like. I ended up in kitchen sales and eventually ran my own company with 15 staff and a factory for a decade. But then the 2009 recession hit, and a major client went under, leaving me with a significant loss. So, naturally, I moved into HR (because, why not?).

At ELAS, I built an amazing sales team and helped bring in over £2.5 million in revenue through cross-selling.

Now, fast forward to today—I joined Wilford Smith in 2021, and we’re ready to make waves in the legal world. But before we dive into that, Heres another joke?

“What did the janitor say when he jumped out of the closet? ...Supplies!”

(If you know a better one, feel free to share when we connect!)

In my current role, I help companies stay protected from HR issues that can go wrong. After running my own business, I’ve learned a lot about the pitfalls and shortcuts that are best avoided. I understand the daily challenges you face, and for over 13 years, I’ve been helping thousands of companies handle issues both big and small.

Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to over the years: 
✔️ Helped more than 2000 clients a year stay compliant 
✔️ Saved companies thousands in tribunal fees by guiding them through proper dismissal procedures 
✔️ Drastically reduced absences by implementing the right processes

How can I help you? 

Our legal team can assist with all kinds of employment law matters, including:

Employment contracts
Redundancy procedures
Discrimination claims
Unfair dismissal claims
Tribunal representation
Settlement agreements
Employee disputes
And much more...

We can also help with conveyancing, wills, probate, motoring offences, fraud investigations, health and safety, and even private prosecutions.

Looking forward to connecting ! 🤣
