Approach
 Add to the typical on-time, on-budget and on-specification PM deliverables
with "and we all want to do it again. It should be a pleasure and not a
penance, it can't be that every day, but mostly is achievable.
 Build the teams and respect the members, no single person can make this
work properly. If they think they, can WE can make it work better.
 Collaboration is the only way to success, both in the Project Teams and the
client's counterparts. We all want the same outcome.
 Honesty is key. We might just find some unexpected help by being honest.
 Contented people work best and are more stress free than high fliers. We
sometimes need high fliers, but not every day. If we do something is
wrong, so find that first and pretty quickly.
 Celebrate success, we do what we do for this and it’s always good for a
team to be apprciated.

Out of Work
Don’t believe people that say “I’m not like this at home”. If you
live what you do you are more like work at home than you think.
I can’t help loving projects so:
 Restored or made from kits 11 cars to date winning National Concours
trophies for 3 of them. Currently have 3 ‘on the go’, they will be 3 more
“best in the country” cars
 With friends turned a 130m2 house in Spain that was an after school extra
lessons building into a 5 bed holiday home. I only used builders for the
structural work, every wire, pipe, tile, floor, wall was mates and Trev
 Turned the place I live, a huge 1930s Art Deco Leicester apartment, from
dereliction into how it should be.
