He chaired the influential New Engineering Contract user group from 2000 to 2003, when he set up The Clarkson Alliance based on the firm belief that ‘while projects deliver facilities, those facilities must deliver tangible results to the client.’

Derryn Cope
Derryn’s experience managing projects in an airport environment underlines her belief that involving stakeholders is critical to the success of a project. ‘Projects are a team event,’ she says. ‘I enjoy the diverse challenges of PM such as creating a clearly defined project brief aimed at an outcome to match the customer’s business case’.
Hugh Manson
Hugh uses his wide experience to support his project management colleagues and clients by keeping them fully informed on the cost status of their projects. This enables our clients to make informed choices at the right times. Hugh’s role is also to ensure that NEC cost management disciplines are adhered to and compensation events are fairly assessed.
Mat Stoddart
Mat graduated from Oxford Brookes University with an honours degree in construction management. ‘I am enjoying the challenge of applying knowledge I gained at university to practical projects,’ he says. ‘I believe in good communications skills helping to achieve project deliverables, as well as embracing new technologies to assist in both the management and construction of projects’.
Po Yung
Po’s role involves Marketing, Business Development and sales support as well as running The Clarkson Alliance’s office. “What I enjoy about seeing the projects develop is not only the physical transformation that takes place but also seeing how the different groups of people benefit from the work that’s done; whether it is those that are working at the facility or the community and others who use it. It’s great seeing their reactions.”
