INTRODUCTION
After completing a BSc (Hons) in Civil Engineering at Lanchester Polyechnic, Coventry, UK in 1969 I was introduced to construction as Agent and Section Agent for Sir Robert McAlpine and Sons. I worked for Anchor Project for new steelworks at Scunthorpe (at the time the largest civil engineering contract in Europe) and then as Section Agent for Brent Field concrete oil rigs at Ardoyne Point, Scotland.
In 1977 (by coincidence the same year Paul Bowyer moved to Dubai) I was employed to assist in the establishment of Arabtec Technical Construction Co. (Arabtec). Commencing with small contracts the Company developed into one of the leading construction companies in the U.A.E. with an annual turnover exceeding Dhs 1.5 Billion.
During 1994 and 1995 I was employed by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum through Arabtec as Project Manager for his properties in the United Kingdom for contracts in excess of Dhs 100 million.
In 1996 I Established Arabtec Hotel Interiors, a division of Arabtec concentrating wholly on the fit-out of 5-Star Hotels worldwide. Turnover within 4 years of establishment had reached Dhs 400 million.
In the period 1997 to 1999 I was the Project Manager for Jumeirah Beach Resort Hotel fit-out (project value Dhs 80 million) involving the complete fit-out of all Public Areas, Conference Centre and Back of House Areas. In the same period I was the Project Manager for the Burj Al Arab fit-out employing over 650 men (project value Dhs 78 million). We completed the fit-out of all Public Areas, Banquette Hall, Health Club and Restaurants.
In April 2001 I Joined AMBB Interiors as Managing Partner to establish and manage an Interiors Division concentrating on selected Clients. Since then the Division has flourished and having established an annual turnover of Dhs 60 - 80m it is my aim to maintain this manageable level, the focus being quality rather than quantity. We offer the highest levels of service for all kinds of fit-outs including hotels, restaurants, offices, banks and shops, and with our own joinery and marble divisions we are able to offer greater control over the quality and timely completion of our projects.
