Senior Development Manager Mollie Mills O’Brien considers her role on the 144-home scheme at 291 Harrow Road, and the variety of daily tasks she has to keep the project “always in line with the vision: what stakeholders and what we have decided that place should be”.

She sets out the skills and attributes she brings to development management; and she describes her journey from private sector development, taking her frustrations with the public sector into a local authority role and “doing what I could to make it better”.

And her advice to anyone considering following that path? “Don't get taken down by the daily struggles. That day when you see all your hard work come to fruition is so powerful.”
