More about Matt
What would you add to your dream home?
Definitely a swimming pool for my house in Spain.
How do you spend your time outside work?
I’m a big rugby fan, especially the Six Nations, and I support Brighton and Hove Albion. I also enjoy travelling to our second home in Spain, gardening, and walking my beloved dog Trigger.
What project or client work stands out for you?
Project Porth was a standout — a challenging but successful build involving a hands-on end user and sectional completions for specialist fit-out works. It was a great lesson in managing multiple expectations and developing strong relationships across the contractor team, client and end user.
