About me

When did you join Fisher German?
2008 - About a week before Lehman Brothers' collapsed!

Why did you join Fisher German?
It seemed like a progressive, ambitious firm, who were established in the Infrastructure Services sector. I had completed a placement year in that sector at a different firm and had enjoyed it so FG seemed like a great fit.

What has been your favourite project and why?
Southampton to London Pipeline was the first major project I've worked on that's gone all the way through construction. As a very well looked after and established client (which gave us the opportunity in the first place), being able to deliver gave us excellent relevant experience to win the next round of linear DCO work.

Most admired, non-property brand?
I seem to own a lot of Bose products!

Best holiday destination?
Mauritius, West Coast

One item to take to a desert island?
