Before launching Petchey Project Solutions Ltd in July 2025, I spent over a decade delivering results in permanent roles across Birmingham and beyond. My reputation is built on strategic leadership, innovation and a passion for developing people and processes.
Much like a footballer earning their place through consistent performances, my career has been shaped by hands on experience, tactical thinking and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Career Highlights
Strategic PMO Leadership
At Civica, I led a high performing PMO team, mentoring analysts and resolving critical escalations that had stalled delivery. I drove strategic dependency management across complex transformation programmes, ensuring alignment like a midfield general orchestrating play across the pitch.
Framework & Process Innovation
At Flomatik Network Services, I engineered and deployed a programme level delivery framework spanning 100+ projects. I built dynamic Power BI dashboards and embedded governance structures that streamlined operations, transforming delivery into a well drilled training ground with clear tactics and measurable outcomes.
Governance & Portfolio Maturity
At Water Plus, I introduced a Project Improvements Control Board and a priority matrix that elevated strategic alignment. Stepping into PMO Manager responsibilities, I matured governance practices and ensured the portfolio played to its strengths, like a team adapting its formation to dominate the game.
Mentorship & Capability Building
As a Skills Coach at QA Ltd, I mentored over 50 apprentices, and at Water Plus, I guided a team member from PMO Administrator to Junior Project Manager. I nurtured talent with the care and foresight of a club’s academy system, developing future stars ready to step up when it mattered most.
Project Delivery Excellence
At Interserve, I delivered complex business change initiatives, including a new audit solution for the BBC, managing budgets up to £750k. I ensured delivery to scope, budget, and quality, executing with the precision of a top flight manager delivering results under pressure.
Board-Level Governance
As Finance Committee Chair and School Governor at St John Bosco Catholic Academy, I implemented an innovative RAID log adopted across multiple schools. This brought strategic oversight and accountability to the forefront, like introducing VAR to ensure decisions are transparent and fair.
