Mabey Hire Board

When I joined Mabey Hire in January 2020, I had enjoyed four years’ experience in the world of temporary works and recognised this business as a strong brand in the sector.

My career beforehand spanned 20 years of progressive sales and marketing roles across the white goods industry and FMCG, where I managed key high street retail customers across various well-known household brands and products.

It’s a results based role, but getting to know customers, understanding how they work and how we can work together most effectively to deliver business growth is the key part. My experience of managing major clients across different sectors is incredibly valuable, giving me a rounded view of what a customer needs and wants, helping to shape our business to best satisfy all those things. The most rewarding part of this role is to coach and develop the team and the individuals within it, to deliver business success through the team.

I love a challenge; I was delighted to have joined Mabey Hire and it’s exciting to bring a new perspective to the team to drive the brand and business forward.

My HR career has spanned many industries, both in the UK and internationally. In more recent years, I've specialised in change and transformation, alongside latest HR practice.

I joined Mabey Hire in August 2022 to support the business in achieving its growth plans, and to bring a depth of insight and experience which will provide relevant and pragmatic people plans.

I'm a regular speaker at CIPD conference, NED to a number of entrepreneurial businesses and an executive coach.

I'm a Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE) and certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with broad experience in engineering, temporary works, and leading multidisciplinary teams on complex projects. I joined Mabey Hire in 2021 and became Engineering Director in early 2024, following several leadership roles within the business.

Previously, I led global engineering, construction and health and safety operations for an NGO, overseeing multiple projects across East Africa. I scaled up the Rwanda program and negotiated with the government to deliver over 350 long-span pedestrian bridges.

After studying Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Cambridge, I began my career with an engineering consultancy. While there, I worked on major bridge and stadium projects, including the Mersey Gateway Bridge, where I spent nearly two years on site coordinating between design and construction teams, having contributed to the design of much of the structure.
