Barclay's Pateley Bridge

Have almost signed off my first project for Killby & Gayford, as I'm working as a general foreman for them. It is a varied role - I'm a general foreman on paper, but in reality I'm a quarter site manager, a quarter joiner, a quarter foreman and a quarter handyman. Being solely in charge of a small team, I have to do the site files as a site manager, but it isn't feasible to have a full-time site manager on the job, hence the multi-tasking involved.

Ironically, I've done more manager's paperwork on this job than I have when I've previously worked as a site manager! It's all good experience, though, and my boss - the project manager, Paul Southgate, is great to work for. This obviously helps things immenseley, as there's nothing more disheartening than an arsehole of a boss.
