Teaching interests
I was responsible for the development of the Project Management group at Richard Ellis from 1980 onwards and am particularly proud of its achievements in the field of new commercial developments. Thus I am very interested in the field of development management and teach that module.
As I commenced professional life as a Building Surveyor and my father was also a Building Surveyor, I enjoy teaching the application of BS theory in Practice.
