Bruce, quite rightly, takes credit for building a company based not only on his considerable experience in areas including technology, investments and markets but also having built his own home at one point. He's less inclined to recognize those intangible qualities that few people possess but that allow them to turn a vision into a proven, robust and profitable business plan.
Allan benefits from the disciplines and demands of a military training, having been a combat engineer in the Royal Engineers from the age of 16. As a master bricklayer, he transferred easily into civilian construction and the craft of laying brick and stone is amply demonstrated in some of the most beautiful work realised on the homes we have built and Allan brings passion and craftsmanship to every project.
Being a natural leader Allan progressed into project management and now oversees all of our projects bringing together both his experience as a craftsman and as a Project Manager.
Allan cannot leave his passions and energy at work and pursues a galaxy of interests in his spare time including climbing, canoeing, windsurfing and glider flying.

A self-confessed and enormously experienced "bean counter", Phil nonetheless owns a sharp wit and some very un-bean like talents. From Chartered practice to senior roles in Dyson and the Securicor Group, he went on to lead a management buyout with a specialist telecoms infrastructure company and subsequently achieved 15 th place in the 2004 Sunday Times Profit Track 100 listings. Having achieved a footprint in over 70 countries, the company was successfully sold to an American equity house.
In search of new challenges, Phil went on to build upon his success, focusing his talents in the construction and property development markets and has accumulated nearly £60m of completed corporate finance transactions.
In his spare time, Phil enjoys shooting and motorsport and used to compete in rally sprints. Medieval history occupies quieter, reflective moments and this creative energy combined with an assiduous accounting brain allows him to take a very holistic approach to the companies he has worked for - bringing those "beans" to life.
