Our people

Senior expertise with a human touch

We’re a team of project specialists who have sat on both sides of the table. This perspective shapes how we work and why clients keep coming back.

Our strength comes from our diversity

Former engineers, quantity surveyors, architects and construction managers bring technical depth to every project. Many of us have been clients and contractors. It’s this experience that gives us unique insight into what drives project success from all angles. We understand the pressures you face because we’ve faced them too.

What binds us together is a shared commitment to making life easier for the people we work with. We build relationships that last, take personal ownership of challenges, and find practical solutions without unnecessary complexity.

Meet the directors

James Brooks and Mark Handley founded Forge with a clear purpose: to create a more personalised project experience for both clients and colleagues.

Their partnership brings balance from international project expertise and experience on both sides of the table. Together, they’ve built a company that reflects their belief that project management should be senior-led, relationship-focused, and tailored to each client’s specific needs.
