About

I’m a Group Workshop Manager with experience leading the maintenance and repair of plant equipment and fleet vehicles supporting construction and civil engineering operations. I lead two busy workshops, managing day-to-day operations, coordinating technicians, prioritising workloads and ensuring plant and vehicles are maintained safely, efficiently and with minimal downtime. My experience covers HGVs, vans and a wide range of specialist plant machinery, including planers, pavers, rollers, StreetMasters and small plant. I’m passionate about building well-organised, high-performing workshops where safety, quality and accountability come first. I take a practical, solutions-focused approach to improving workshop performance, reducing downtime, controlling costs and supporting operational efficiency. I understand the commercial impact that plant and fleet availability has on project delivery, and I pride myself on making decisions that keep equipment reliable, teams productive and operations moving. I’m always interested in connecting with professionals across the construction, plant and transport industries and welcome opportunities to share knowledge, build relationships and explore future opportunities.
