Nexus South East Ltd.
Senior Project Manager 2021-Present
Following on from a particularly busy year, in 2021 at Amazon,2022 brought me back to my roots in Hospitality. Since joining Nexus I have completed a new Pasta Restaurant for Various Eateries which is their no.1 flagship build.
During this build I was also SPM on an MJMK Project in Fitzrovia called Lisboeta for the World famous chef “ Nuno Mendes “ this was a fire damaged building in Fitrovia which needed extensive planning and
works to get back to where it is today, proving a logistical challenge to boot being in a tight Street in Fitzrovia.
Also, during this period I managed Coppa Club Haslemere restaurant and Hotel “The Georgian” a listed former hotel needing a full strip out back to shell and refitting to modern standards and regulations.
The Coppa Club Bath and exploratory works at the Coppa club Guilford. All in all a pretty challenging start to the year. I have built up a good relationship with the clients during this time.
