David Whatham

David originally qualified as a Mechanical Engineer, working with Ford Motor Company, Fiat and Iveco over a 20 year period. During this time, experience was gained in design, manufacturing, logistics and procurement.
Within these roles David took responsibility for a significant number of International projects. These gave him first hand experience of working and managing in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. A number of these projects involved the additional complexity of multi-business collaboration which demanded clear and effective communication to deliver the desired outcomes.
David later undertook senior operational and strategic roles with BTR, Invensys Pilkington and Laing ORourke. In the last two of these roles he held main board positions.
Much of the learning and experience from the automotive industry was relevant and needed in the construction industry. A sector where waste and inefficiency had been allowed to go almost unchallenged. The reduction in variation, specification and sub-contract sources lead to financial, time and safety benefits for the business.
For the last 12 years David has operated as a Commercial consultant, undertaking projects in Utilities, Construction, Facilities Management, Hospitality and Manufacturing. His broad business understanding and global experience has enabled him work swiftly and effectively to bring benefits to many organisations.
