Why Base?/What makes Base different? I saw an advertisement for an apprentice quantity surveyor at Base on LinkedIn and, as I had recently completed a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment, I thought this role would be well
Why Base? I got to know Duncan whilst working in the building reception of Aldwych House. He was kind enough to invite me to the Christmas parties in the years prior to starting at Base, so I got to know both him and the existing staff and loved the family feel of the company.

Why Base? After completing my Masters in Construction Law and Dispute resolution at King’s College London, I met with Duncan. His passion with regards to the business, its direction and its people, convinced me that it would be a good space to develop my career.

Why Base? I have several ex-colleagues that now work at Base Quantum and I liked what they told me about the company culture. Where did you work previously? I worked for HKA for the past 7 years with a number of excellent experts and had the opportunity to travel and relocate abroad for a while.
Why Base? I returned to the UK from the Middle East in 2016 and, having interviewed for a number of different organisations, met with Duncan. He had some radical ideas for my career and a relaxed but can-do approach to business. Having previously worked for very rigid, corporate organisations, I was excited and refreshed by the shift in mindset.
Why Base? Base has a growing Forensic Expert Witness team with an excellent reputation at home and abroad. Once I was offered the chance to join, it was an easy decision to make. What were you doing previously? I’ve previously worked in Nottingham and London, advising main contractors and specialist subcontractors.
Why Base? I had recently relocated from Greece and was looking for job opportunities in the UK. Base was a fast-growing company with an international presence, and I felt that it was a good space for somebody with experience outside of the UK.
