Arek joined Parkeray in 2005, working with Andy Smith on PriceWaterhouseCooper’s offices in Uxbridge. Arek is responsible for placing orders, managing the labourers and managing expectations. He is easy-going, friendly and always builds strong relationships with building security and management teams.
One of the first projects Arek worked on was creating the international HQ for BP which introduced the high standard of PPE and H&S procedures we enjoy today. This was a good training ground as Arek is fastidious in maintaining a clean and tidy site and instils a sense of order.
His love of the great outdoors takes him snowboarding to the longest slope in Europe at 25km to scuba diving in the deepest of seas. Before Arek came to England he was a keen basketball player and played in the amateur league for over 10 years! His day to day exercise now consists of cycling as often as possible and as a regular gym goer. He is also a rock fan and you can’t keep him away from seeing his beloved Metallica whenever he can.
Andy joined Parkeray in 2004 and has over 25 years experience in project management and has been a director since 2013.
He has won the quarterly H&S award twice and is on the H&S Board for his commitment to this important issue. He ensures all his project teams keep an excellent site set up, is loyal, tolerant, supportive of others and despite having high expectations of himself and others, will always give credit where it’s due.
Andy won a gold award from the City Corporation by the Lord Mayor of London. He creates a positive influence and is a welcome addition to the Parkeray Challenge team; he lifts spirits with a smile and a song. As well as being a lover of the outdoors, in his spare time you can find Andy on the race track or watching other speed freaks in the F1.

Adrian has always had an interest in his role beyond just numbers. He enjoys interacting with people and has worked with many businesses of all shapes and sizes. That said, he’s at his happiest counting beans, although it’s fair to say he’s not a Bean Counter!
Over the last few years, Adrian has developed a passion for cycling and along with three Parkeray colleagues has taken part in Cycle to MIPIM in 2015 and 2017, a 1500km ride from London to Cannes for children’s charity CORAM, alongside other industry sportives and events, including the Prudential Ride 100.
