Leah is the present and future of Business Development in Amiri.

Her inquisitive and creative nature allied with her outgoing personality means she's a great ambassador of The Amiri Way as well as having an excellent entrepreneurial mind to put together all the right people for all the right opportunities. She likes to spend her time by the water when she gets the chance, whether it's in Polzeath, Cornwall in her campervan with her partner and dog, Vinnie or abroad on a beach somewhere!

Since the business started, Mark has been the driving force behind business development at Amiri Construction, Mark was a building surveyor by background, who has spent time working on site as well as in pre-construction and as a sub-contractor so understands the start to finish approach to project development. Mark had a huge passion for exceptional build quality and making sure the client was delighted with the Amiri experience. He was a true leader within the business and well respected and trusted in the central-south construction region as an authority. Mark had time for everyone and was always keen to help within the Industry network, putting together the right teams and characters to make a project work. This was key to unlocking so many projects. Mark was a keen windsurfer, paddleboarder and surfer and had competed at international level racing yachts. When not getting his feet wet he was often found either watching, coaching or playing football or on one of his bikes (with or without engines). He always spoke so fondly of his family, including the newest member of his family, his first Grandson who was born in the Summer of 2022. We sadly lost Mark after a short battle with Cancer in November 2022. We will miss Mark greatly - this has been felt massively within the Construction industry and has shown how many lives Mark has touched and helped throughout his career.
