This was a £1.5M package that required a large degree of collaboration and management, both internally and externally to execute our clients desired outcome. Will’s efforts ensured this project was a great success.

Commercial Accountant

Will joined Urban Roofscapes not long after the business was formed and has gained knowledge & experience working across various departments. During this period, he has shown his adaptability by assisting in estimation and procurement while also performing his main role in finance. As the business has evolved, we have employed people to focus on their own area of the business. This has enabled will to focus on finance and take commercial responsibility for projects analysis and reporting. Will has worked in finance for 10 years and is a qualified accountant but recently wanted to solidify his standing by entering the Chartered CIMA pathway which will further his development to Master’s level.
