  (Design industry)

  2003 — Present (6 years)

  Interior Design Consultancy
  
  Recently I've been concentrating on housing developments and have completed two new mews houses in Ireland and the renovation of an historic mill in France. Currently I'm working on an amazing property in London's Highgate with possibly the best views in the city.
  
  I've also been providing strategic business consultancy to several London based interior design practices helping them better understand studio productivity, fee negotiation and bottom line profitability.

• Director

  KCA International

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Architecture & Planning industry)

  1993 — 2003 (10 years)

  KCA is perhaps best known as the interior designers for all the public spaces in the Burj Al Arab Hotel Dubai. During my time there I was also involved at executive level on seven successful hotels for Hilton International, several for Jumeirah International, Larvotto Hotel Monaco, several projects for the Okura Hotel Group, several palaces and yachts for confidential royal clients and the new 1.4 million square metre expansion of Dubai International Airport.
  
  As a Director I was responsible for allocating resources to projects and ensuring projects were delivered timously and profitably.

• Senior Designer

  Isherwood & Company

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Architecture & Planning industry)

  1987 — 1989 (2 years)

  Job running. At Isherwoods we were very busy providing roll-out shopfitting programmes for multi-nationals. One of our main clients at the time was Pentos plc. In one year alone, with a small design team, we opened 37 shops for them throughout the UK, Holland the USA and Canada.

  DI Design & Development Consultants Ltd

  (Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Architecture & Planning industry)

  1985 — 1987 (2 years)

  DI Design is one of the world's largest multi-disciplinary design companies of its type. At the time I worked for them, founding partner Paul Mollé had recently arrived to open the London office and for quite a while it was just the two of us. That threw me in at the deep end; having to do everything from buying the stationery to giving client presentations - and all tasks in between. I owe DI Design heavily for an eye-opening education in working as part of complex project design teams on large international retail and leisure projects.
