Directors
Dan Williams
Commercial Director
After gaining a HND at Southampton Institute (now Southampton Solent University), then degree in Construction Management at Coventry University, Dan entered the construction industry with youthful optimism in main contracting. Starting off as a lowly finishing foreman (basically making the tea), Dan spent the next 15 years working his way through to Project Manager on projects such as the Heathrow’s air traffic control tower and Terminal 5. The gamekeeper turned poacher and joined SMD in 2006 as a Contracts Manager before joining the Board of Directors as Commercial Director. Whilst Dan is not so youthful (his words), he is still optimistic.
Dan enjoys fishing in spare time (fly and course – apparently, it’s a sport!?) and occasionally golf although, in not so many words, he isn’t very good (I’ll let you decide the colourful words Dan used to describe his golf game).
A very keen, and good, swimmer in his younger days, Dan is desperately trying to get back to it, but his body is resisting it. Dan will eat anything as long as it doesn’t contain mushrooms and drinks anything apart from gin.
