Brendan is a Contracts Director at DBR with over three decades of experience working on historic and complex buildings. A Fine Art graduate and trained architectural carver, letter cutter, and banker mason, he worked as a site-based craft mason from 1992 to 2001 on a wide range of heritage projects.

He is highly proactive in problem-solving, defect surveying, and agreeing repair strategies, and is responsible for overall project delivery, from health and safety and programming through to design coordination, specialist manufacture, and financial forecasting.
