What is your job role at Harper?
Senior Lecturer in Land and Property Management
What are your previous job roles?
Previously worked in the construction industry for 20 years in civil engineering and architecture on projects such as highway construction, sewerage schemes, accessible river access for canoeists, schools, houses, supermarkets, and hospitals.
What is your specialist subject?
I love all things construction from an excavated hole to the final built asset. There are many steps in the construction process, and I enjoy anything built environment related from inception, design, onsite to handover.
What is your favourite module and why?
I enjoy and are passionate about all modules I teach on which are varied such as academic skills, technology, construction, and dissertations as I feel I am making a difference to our students and that is my favourite part about being a lecturer.
Why do you like working at Harper?
Harper Adams is a friendly, happy, and extended family where all team players pull together.
What opportunities do you see for Harper LPM graduates?
HAU LPM graduates have a bright and promising future in the industry limited only by the boundaries of their own imagination. The built environment significantly contributes to global carbon emissions, presenting a unique opportunity for us to drive the transition towards a circular economy focused on carbon neutrality. Our students can play a pivotal role in uncovering opportunities to lead the way in providing innovative solutions for a sustainable future. The potential for transformative change is immense, and our graduates are well-equipped to lead the way.
