The senior site manager at Knights Brown on his love of working in construction and why the industry needs to do more to attract school leavers.
How did you get into construction? What else would you have done?
I entered the industry when I left school, joining a City and Guilds apprenticeship in bricklaying. I didn’t know what I wanted to do at the time. My father told me to go and get a trade whilst I was deciding what I wanted to do. This way I would always have something solid to fall back on.
Since then I have never looked back; the industry gave me the confidence to achieve more than I ever thought was possible. I attended university to do an HND in Building Studies then a degree in Construction Management. I’ve always been interested in ancient civilisations so if I had my time again I might have become a stonemason or something that involves historic buildings.
