‘Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise again’

‘Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise again’

‘Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise again,’ Victor Hugo.

A great quote shared by the States of Guernsey this morning.

In these times it’s very easy to become disheartened by all that is happening. We have been encouraged by our fantastic people at PF+A and it is business as “new normal” for us.

Our children continue to grow, our businesses continue to business and the world continues to turn. We’re looking after ourselves following the advice from the States of Guernsey, so we can look after others. PF+A has a clear purpose of enhancing people’s lives which anchors all we do; at this time it’s more important than ever.

Over the last few days, we’ve been supported by our amazing friends POS, RBS, Potting Shed, Chamber of Commerce and Logicalis (to name but a few) with their love, support and positivity.

The States of Guernsey have shown fantastic leadership and sensibility. We have been and will continue to follow their advice. We thank everyone working hard for Guernsey’s future for their tireless efforts, you’re doing a great job!

Who knows exactly where this will take us, but it’s clear that together we are stronger, giving is better than taking, and with love and kindness we will get through this side by side (but not too close!).

We’ll keep providing updates as things progress, but for now; we’re here, we’re working, we’re being careful.

Now, go and wash your hands.

Having been educated and grown up in Guernsey and developing a passion for technical design work, information technology and an intrigue for building design and history during his GCSE years, Oliver decided to commence his career in 1999 as an Architectural Technologist with Lovell Ozanne one of the largest architectural practices in the Channel Islands, During those first inspiring 9 years he gained his BTEC HNC qualification increasing his fundamental experience and developing his knowledge base by working on multi-million pound commercial and residential developments including, Mixed Use and Redevelopment Areas (MURA), offices, apartments and industrial units.

Moving to the States of Guernsey’s Property Services Team in 2008, Oliver was able to learn invaluable working skills and practices, increasing his expanding skillset in tendering and contract administration, whilst having the opportunity to work on public buildings and the differing challenges brought about by these types of projects. These projects encompassed education premises, States buildings with high security requirements, projects at the airport and harbours and fully accessible health facilities. Full Accessibility audits for the health facilities became a prominent project for Oliver as his career progressed and he carried out a number of audits and reports for substantial business within the Island.

Now with a total of 21 years’ experience within the industry, his expansive knowledge not only covers all areas of a very vast field, but includes all aspects of a project from inception right through to the final handover of a completed project; which, for Oliver is the most rewarding experience.

Oliver’s exceptional wealth of knowledge has lead him to gain his chartership with the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists and was formally invited to become an Interview Assessor for the Institute in 2015, a position limited to only a small number and in which someone can only be invited by the Institute. Oliver completed the necessary assessor training a few months later.

Ever striving to continue growing and expanding his professional knowledge, Oliver is a driven member of PF+A and one of the top in his field. With his professional yet friendly approachable nature he is an individual able to facilitate and communicate to clients, contractors, sub-contractors and other third parties to ensure that a project is always the best it can be. Internally an exceptional trainer to the less experienced members of the team with an ease of teaching methods to ensure an unseamingly level of continuity for their development.

In his spare time Oliver enjoys spending time with his young family of three daughters, experiencing travelling and cultural diversity and of course Guernsey’s beautiful outdoor environment.
