Backstory and Achievements

Oliver grew up on the small island of Guernsey. At a young age, he used to areas of Africa with his grandparents’ charity.

The first construction project he worked on involved planning a major railway upgrade in Malaysia during a university year in industry. Here, he learned how different upbringings and life experiences helped generate complementary thoughts and ideas.

Since then, he has worked for a major contractor on several different construction projects within the UK, operating under planning, engineering and management roles. He is very grateful for this experience which enabled him to become a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Oliver has now moved to France so that his wife could be closer to her family and is relishing the new challenge.
