■ Career achievements: Re-engaged with lapsed clients and identified new clients to pursue. Built a relationship with these clients, combined with detailed research to understand what projects they had on, what questions to ask, and what useful technical information to provide at each stage. This produced 80 new projects and £14.6 million of specification in 2021 (a 144% increase on 2020). Won a large specification (15,000m2 Sandstone) against rival hard landscaping firms at Paddington Station. Met with the client (Jessop & Cook) and specialists at different stages of the project, helping the client overcome different challenges and appeal to the relevant stakeholders. This resulted in £2 million products sold for Marshalls Plc and a safer surface for station users. Won the specification and sale of resin repair for the clock on the Elizabeth Tower at The House of Commons. Met with the parliamentary estate construction and repair team to explain the benefits of the repair system and agree a schedule of works. £150,000 of repair care resin was sold as a result.
