Alex has over fifteen years of experience working on complex projects with unusual design, construction and fit-out requirements. He has an excellent understanding of both design and construction processes and adds real value to design problem-solving discussions, especially where budgets are tight and practical and realisable solutions are needed to meet project and programme requirements. 

Helen is a management and business development consultant with over twenty years of experience working with a diverse range of organisations and individuals across sectors.  She brings a client focussed approach to all the projects we are involved with and ensures that everyone has all the information they need in order to keep activities on track.
