Meet the team
With over 25 years of experience in the interior fit-out industry, I began my career in site management before progressing to a senior project management role, overseeing single-site £5,000 projects to multi-million pound nationwide programmes. Having been a French polisher, I have an eye for detail and fine joinery work. Other than work, my passion is playing hockey where I have represented England Masters in two World Cups as well as other tournaments around the world.

I have worked for Consensus since its inception in 2018. As such, I understand both my role and the way in which the accounts department’s efficiency can impact the smooth running of the business. I enjoy running and have historically completed half marathons. I like to have an event on the horizon or weekend away booked and have a dog, Norman, who takes up my time after work and who I enjoy taking on long walks.
