With more than 15 years’ commercial property experience, Kerri has built a strong reputation for forging strategic partnerships and delivering outstanding client outcomes.

Rick Smith, who has been recruited as small works manager, has more than 20 years’ experience in the construction industry, managing commercial and education projects and is tasked with both helping to grow the size of the division and its reputation for excellence in smaller scale projects.

Kerri is dynamic and passionate about this industry and brings a fresh perspective, having expertise in both driving business growth and working with large commercial clients. Rick is a top operator who brings vast experience working in highly demanding and fast paced environments.

“When I set up Greenmount Projects on 2018, I made firm a commitment that we would also help build and bolster our communities and provide support to those who need it most. Bringing Jennie on board is reflection of not only on how this has grown but also on how much further we want to go. We have known of Jennie for a while and have admired her collaborative approach to projects and her tenacity and she will be an asset both to us and Team Wigan and Leigh.
