‘Owen has a valuable set of skills and experiences he bring to projects and assignments, alongside enthusiasm and rigour.  He has supported North Central London Integrated Care System to deep dive into our primary and neighbourhood estates portfolio, to shape and inform our capital planning process and budget.’ 

Nicola Theron, NCL ICS Estates Director

‘Owen was instrumental in securing a new health centre. We had been trying to find new premises for over 20 years, and were working from an outdated and unsuitable converted house. Owen drove the complex negotiations to ensure that we achieved the building of our dreams - we have no doubt the move would not have happened without his persistence and drive, and endless enthusiasm and support. We achieved an “Outstanding” rating from CQC within 18 months of moving in.’
