Very efficient and he really took ownership

When I was working with Neil directly on Clifton Bridge, I thought he was very efficient, and he really took ownership of the stakeholder and customer engagement for the scheme. It wasn’t an easy scheme to manage but he stayed on top of engagement.
Neil is very knowledgeable and was willing to go out and meet with customers and stakeholders.

Invaluable easing the community tensions

Paul's engagement with the primary stakeholders on my Highways England schemes has been invaluable easing the community tensions that our road works caused at Old Stratford. With the learnings from Old Stratford scheme we engaged with Paul at an earlier stage of the project.
Aligned with our Positive Impact Plan, Paul created CSR opportunities that helped communities to come together to improve their local environment.
Paul has a very useful knowledge base, and extensive contacts throughout the industry.
