Today, he supports various members of the London Quantity Surveying team through all stages of construction and has worked on projects alongside the following clients: BDO and The Portman Estate.

In his free time, Sean enjoys playing football and is also a qualified referee who helps ref the youth teams at his local football club - Ruislip Rangers FC.
