He has worked in Local Government on a variety of capital development programmes and public and private sector regeneration initiatives over a period of twenty years. Prior to joining Inpartnership Ron worked with Bovis Lend Lease where his role was to set up and manage joint ventures with Local Authorities and in particular to ensure the delivery of the social objectives of the public sector with the commercial imperatives of Bovis Lend Lease.

Local Labour Initiatives
In all relevant regeneration programmes and joint ventures with public sector agencies, Ron has been responsible for introducing and ensuring compliance with initiatives, which link local people to the opportunities emerging during construction or end users of capital projects.

Through mechanisms such as employment charters, supply chain management and dedicated training and placement programmes, high levels of local employment and trading have been achieved and continue to be delivered to the benefit of the areas involved and to the company.
