We hear how Douglas first started his career as a Quantity Surveyor and what influences he had early in his journey. Douglas tells us what challenges he faces every week and how he keeps himself and everyone at WYG motivated. A leader who leads by example, Douglas tells us why he thinks there is a skills shortage in engineering and construction and what we can do to promote our industry and challenge the next generation to become involved.
