Peter first entered the Construction arena as Site Office support on a large Retirement Homes project,  which was being project managed by a family friend.  After this project was completed he decided that warmer climates beckoned within the industry,  so he entered an office environment as a Trainee Buyer.  This was over 25 years ago and though unknown at the time this was to be the first step into a career path that was to be both stimulating and varied.

Day release study and via a few company moves he progressed his career to that of Purchasing Manager for a National Contractor.  After operating for many years in Procurement,  he was approached by a former Managing Director to join him in setting up and running a contracting company,  which he decided to do.  The venture was very successful for circa 5 years until the recession hit in 2008,  resulting in the company closing.

So in 2009,  with a slight change of career direction,  he joined the Construction Recruitment industry with Edge Partners,  which has led to an exciting journey of opportunity.  The result of which is Peter now oversees operations working closely with the divisional teams to ensure all engagements with the newly branded Edge Careers are dealt with in a positive and correct manner.
