Alan Myers

I have no hesitation in recommending Garrett. In his role as Construction Manager he supervised and managed the contractor in all areas and the outcome was a quality job within budget and programme.

He is very well qualified on Health & Safety issues and promotes a safe and smooth running site. With his excellent communication skills he has a knack of creating a positive working atmosphere which encourages everyone to work together for the good of the project.

Mike Carter, Director Senior Project Manager

It was my pleasure, as the Commercial Manager/Claims Manager working for the owner of PP11, to engage with Garrett, as the lead civil engineer on PP11, working for the OE in the guise of Mott Mcdonald.

I found Garrett to be a very competent adminstrator, both technically and commercially astute. He must have been to explain the intricancies of concrete structures and road building in a hostile enviroment to me. His work ethic, I found to be exemplary, as no to extra work when short handed was not in his vocabulary, and his ability to deal fairly with both main contractors and sub-contractor’s was an exercise in patience.

I would have no problems in recommending Garrett to an employer and would enjoy working with him again.

Tony Mackenzie BA(Hons) Law CI CIPS CIArb

Garrett is a thoroughly professional and dedicated engineer. Having had the opportunity to work together on a remote project in Saudi I was grateful for Garrett’s continued enthusiasm and dedication to his work.

I am privileged to class him as a good friend and trusty work colleague and benefitted from his technical knowledge of civil works. He is a dependable and hard working member of the team and continually gives 100% to the tasks at hand.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Garrett for a senior position on any project and hope for the opportunity to work with him again.

Gordon Miller, Supply Chain Project Manager

Garrett is a very experienced and knowledgable engineer, who was an asset to the team, and I give him my highest recommendation without reservation.

Mike Wiseman, Head of Renewables

Garrett is an extremely efficient, organised and experienced construction manager who leads safety by example on all of his projects. His competency provides senior management within the company that any construction activities will be conducted on a safety first principal.

As director of HSE in this company I can recommend Garrett on any future global project to provide a simliar role of lost time free project completions.
