|

|
| | Programme and project
management firm Moorhouse

appointment to its
leadership team, with the
promotion of Carrie
Oliver from principal to
director. Ex-Big Five

|
| | both customers and
colleagues alike since
joining the firm last
July.
Managing director Dom

moment Carrie came on
board, she quickly
impressed with her
innovative ideas for the
business and she wasted
no time in winning new
work with the Department | |
|
| | for Transport (DfT) –
putting us centre stage
on one of most strategic
transport programmes in
the country.
"Carrie has proved to
be the consummate
professional – her
passion for client

possibly matched only by
her somewhat zany, but
infectious, sense of | |
|

to have her contributing
to how we grow and shape
our company."
