Varied research work
Having gained his initial experience at the Department of Education and Science, and as an architectural assistant at Davies Llewelyn & Jones, he subsequently spent seven years as Research Associate at the Welsh School of Architecture, focusing on areas including the impact of hospital design on staff movement, pan-European MRI and CT scanner provision, the causes and effects of Sick Building Syndrome, and the environmental impact of global warming on the national housing stock. Following this, he joined the East Gloucestershire NHS Trust, initially as a Research Associate within its Ophthalmology Department, before a two- year spell as Capital Projects manager.
A key time as Trusts merged In 2002, on the Trust’s merger with the Gloucestershire Royal NHS Trust, he was appointed Associate Director of Planning

at the new entity – the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust – ‘at a critical time’ for the combined Trust, as it signed off on the development of the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. His key responsibilities included clinical service planning, estate strategy, and building project brief development for the Trust in Cheltenham and Gloucester. Notable achievements included managing enabling projects to facilitate the Gloucestershire Royal PFI, and closure of rheumatology and orthopaedics at Standish Hospital. He also led a service reconfiguration which saw a ProCure21 £35 m new single-site Women’s Centre created in Gloucester, and the centralisation of Urology services to Cheltenham, and on the six-year project to redevelop the Cheltenham General and Gloucestershire Royal Hospitals. This included the creation of two new Critical Care Units, a Stroke Unit, and the expansion of the Trust’s specialist cancer centre, as well as the development of a mental health recovery unit, working on the scheme with local authorities and housing association partners.
Creating a ‘specialist’ Estates team From 2008 to 2018 – when he took up his current role as Director, and Estates and Facilities Management Operational Lead, at NHSI/NHSE, he was employed by the 2gether NHS Foundation Trust, which provides mental health and learning disability services to the people of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. In his first four years with the Trust, as Head of Property Management, he created a specialist Estates team to fulfil the Informed Client role with the Estates Services provider, and led on and implemented capital investment plans – including for an £8 m refurbishment of an Older Age mental health unit, and a £3.3 m new-build Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit. Subsequently, as Deputy Director, Estates & Facilities, and Head of Estates & Facilities, he had charge over an annual operational budget of £10.2 m, a £5 m-£11 m capital programme, and a directly employed 150-strong workforce. In the role he had overall responsibility for the operation, maintenance, development, and cleaning of the Foundation Trust’s estate.
Developing multiskilled teams Today, in his NHSI/NHSE role, he says he has ‘a passion for the development of strong, multiskilled teams and individuals, taking the time to find the strengths in everyone’.
