The firm’s new managing director on following his father into the industry, growing GMI Construction, surviving tough times and his dislike of Manchester United
Why did you choose construction as a career?
My family has always been involved in construction. My father previously ran an engineering steelwork metal business in Yorkshire, so you could say that the industry has always been in my DNA.
I have always been drawn to the construction sector because it combines hands-on practical skills with deep technical knowledge. It is a dynamic industry where no two days are the same, constantly evolving with new challenges and innovations. It is always fast paced and interesting.
I enjoy the fact that I can be working on site overseeing progress one day, and in the office planning and problem-solving another. I also feel incredibly proud to work on unique projects that leave a lasting impact on towns, cities and entire regions.
