• Careers

When I left the British Army in 2012, I served in the REME for 5 years spending a lot of that time abroad, I didn’t have a transition plan.

Instead, I became an unqualified PE and Public Services teacher in Kent, where I enjoyed helping young people and launching the school’s Duke of Edinburgh programme. But I knew I wanted to be a problem solver.

A chance opportunity led me into Quantity Surveying in 2015, where I quickly discovered my passion for pre-construction and estimating. I joined Morrison Utility Services, now M Group, in 2021 as an Estimator and have since progressed to Head of Estimating.

M Group has provided incredible opportunities for growth, but what stands out most is its commitment to inclusion. As a veteran, staying connected with the forces community through business-led initiatives remains especially meaningful. I do miss the adventure training and the dark humour that kept us all going in the tough times though.
