Stuart’s contribution as Strategic Project Manager and Funder’s representative was invaluable. Drawing on his expertise and experience of projects of this complexity he steered the team to a successful outcome. The new building will provide the quality of facilities required to sustain the development of CJBS over the next 15 years and Stuart has ensured that the project’s objectives were realised.

This was not just a matter of technical skill and experience – the positive relationships between team members and the attention given to stakeholder communication were vital factors in achieving our goals. Stuart’s awareness of the importance of these interactions demonstrates his understanding of the priorities in effective project management.

A failed planning history. A stuttering fund-raising campaign. A local architect out of his depth. Then in steps Stuart Johnson and a major transformation follows: a design competition attracts a world class field and a outstanding architect wins. A masterplan falls into place. City planners are carefully consulted. A team of contractors and specialist advisers come together under Stuart's baton. Hurdles that had seemed insurmountable are cleared with ease. And a splendid building emerges, delivered with a minimum of fuss, a deeply satified client, and not a penny over budget.
