Company Overview
Delivering your projects can be hard; with breakdowns in communication, misunderstood scope, budgets not tracked and, worst of all, unhappy customers.
The result of this being long hours and weekends to ensure the next go-live doesn’t fail, retrospectively piecing together budgets, and patching up short-fallings in customer relations becoming the new norm.
You are great at what you do, and you work hard for your customers, but your teams do not seem to get the results you desire?
Working with UK Project Professionals, we get you back in control of your strategic objectives. We leverage the skills already in your business to deliver your projects at their optimum. When working with you, we will take accountability for the deliverables, whilst driving them to completion. We will help identify issue areas in your processes, and coach your teams, turning them into a powerful asset for your business, leaving a long-lasting culture of high-performance
The only thing that stands between where you are now and where you want to be, is a series of problems to solve.
These problems fall under 2 key categories: Process and People.
At UK Project Professionals we have you covered; with over a decade of experience on the frontline of project delivery across many industries, methodologies and technologies, and working with teams from all around the globe.

Founder and Senior Project Specialist
My Story
My passion for delivering impactful projects started from a young age, cultivated within the family business. After school and during Sunday dinners, which inevitably turned into business meetings, I unknowingly honed my skills in business and project management.
Pursuing a degree in Events and Project Management was a natural next step for me. From there, I climbed the ranks at DHL Supply Chain, working with some of the world’s most prominent brands. I managed a diverse array of projects; adopting various systems, methodologies, and tools, whilst collaborating with multi-cultural teams across the globe.
After nearly a decade at the world’s largest supply chain company, I transitioned to one of the UK’s leading supermarkets. There, I made my mark in the property and energy department, successfully overseeing a data migration for a multi billion pound merger, and executing five simultaneous technology proofs of concept, which shaped the company’s energy strategy for years to come.
This success led me into contracting, where I teamed up with a B Corp (a company certified for meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency) to implement supply chain AI solutions for a leading global coffee brand. This role involved rolling out multiple features and applications across European countries, and establishing a workflow that boosted both team enjoyment and productivity.
My journey continues as I seek to leverage my extensive experience to drive further innovative and strategic initiatives.
