“The more planning we do, the more detailed we are, the more accurate we are, the better the outcome.”

The more something means to you, the more it gets out of you. That’s the attitude Dan instils as head of Hewshott UK, where he has licence to mould his dynamic team in ways that ensure they get the absolute most out of the project, and each other. Dan believes an inspired and motivated team is directly linked to positive client experiences, seeding a culture where finding the right work-life balance is welcomed and encouraged, whether it’s working back late, hitting the snooze button, longer coffee breaks, or taking Friday off when they really need it. It’s more than a mantra – it’s an unspoken employee pact that involves complete buy-in and trust from the entire team. And it’s made possible because each project is split between at least two people to spread the load, creating a tight-knit team that cares for one another and has each other’s back.

Dan isn’t content creating a smooth client experience – he wants to make it effortless. By sitting alongside the client and asking good questions, Dan and the Hewshott team mirror their thinking, becoming fully aligned on exactly what needs to be delivered. His thirst for information comes from lessons learned working as a contractor building consultant solutions, where less detail meant more assumptions and increased scope for mistakes. At Hewshott UK, Dan counterbalances his intuitive thoughts by actively seeking the opinions of others in order to make fast, fully informed decisions. Which is perfect when you’re part of Hewshott’s ecosystem of global resources, where a team of international calibre professionals with their own invaluable experience and insights is just a phone call away.
