KBR is an ICT and networking company based in the NE England. I started with KBR as a Field Service engineer then graduated to become Maintenance Manager. After a short period of time I was asked to move across to a Sales role which then lead to me starting up and developing a new division of the company. This division was Audio Visual and was the launch pad for my current career in the AV industry as Contracts Manager for IDNS where I am managing Projects on multiple new build sites liaising directly as consultant / designer / PM to ict providers, main contractors and builders.
