Brendan Forbes

Contracts Manager

I am the Contracts Manager at McKenzie Projects, responsible for overseeing construction and maintenance works from tender stage through to handover, with a strong focus on clear processes, quality, and communication. I come from a background in both domestic and commercial construction, supported by my earlier career in the British Army, where I learned the value of planning, teamwork, and doing the basics well. Outside of work, I enjoy photography, travel, and hill walking.
