The Ball & Berry board expects Jennifer Barrett, the new director for the northwest, to help expand its commercial and domestic portfolios in the region
Jennifer Barrett joined the construction industry as a trainee civil engineer technician in 1992. After a degree in building surveying in 1999, she moved into building control.
She joined Dunwoody Building Legislation as an associate director in 2005 and director in 2012, before joining Jhai Ltd as regional manager in 2018. She was promoted to technical manager in 2020, ahead of joining Ball & Berry at the start of 2022.
“Ball & Berry is a well-established and respected approved inspector, and I’m thrilled to be joining a business where I’ll be central in helping to shape its future direction in the northwest,” she said. “I’ll be bringing my leadership and technical skills to the fore, together with a wealth of experience in complex and major projects that includes numerous government and Crown Estate developments.
“It’s also my ambition to provide guidance and support to younger team members who are in the early stages of their career, ensuring they receive the same progressive opportunities that I was awarded to flourish and grow.”
Ball & Berry director Paul McNeill said: “Jennifer has such extensive experience in construction and building control, and with her raft of qualifications and sector memberships, she really is on the pulse of the industry. The insights and vast knowledge she’s gleaned from such a high calibre of roles over the last 30 years will be a huge advantage to Ball & Berry, and we’re delighted she’s joining us and helping to further develop our proposition in the northwest.”
