Whilst at Lambert Smith Hampton where a considerable breadth of property experience was gained, Michael increasingly became focused on the Primary Care premises market. Part of his role was that of Strategic Property Manager for Primary Health Properties Plc – the UK's largest sector specialist investor. Significant involvement with the development of new schemes was a consistent part of the role from 1994 through to 2003.

In 2003 Michael joined Haven Health as its Development Director with a responsibility to help to grow the business. The ethos of the company was the main attraction. An excellent service combined with the delivery of high quality buildings was at the heart of the company. Michael is committed to these principles.

A team based approach is the only way to successfully manage primary care projects. Michael's track record at managing the project team in a development focused environment is evidenced by the successfully completed projects which he has led and the references that then follow from the healthcare team that are now the occupiers of those buildings.
