I am mainly responsible for advising on Capex projects from a contentious and non-contentious perspective and providing support to Holcim\'s contracting business. Since joining the company in 2023, I have been the lead Counsel on the Tilbury grinding station project located at Tilbury Docks, London. This is a multi-let project consisting of approximately 15 principle packages managed by Holcim\'s internal team with support from an EPCM provider. I am also the lead Counsel in respect of Holcim\'s involvement in the Peak Cluster Joint Venture (a 200km pipeline from the Peak District to the Irish Sea for the transport of CO2) and Holcim\'s carbon capture project.
