Q&A with our Client Support Manager, Yanni Massouras
Q1. 8 months into your new role as the Client Support Manager for the South East region, how has your experience been so far?
My experience working within the public sector has been very meaningful and fulfilling. I provide support and advice on procurement processes, project management, and quality control, all of which aim to improve the community and quality of life.
Q2. What role does LHC play in the Public Sector? How can you support and contribute to this?
LHC provides the public sector with simplified procurement frameworks for the construction and refurbishment sectors. Our in-house team and carefully selected appointed companies support our clients throughout the process.
As a Client Support Manager, I play a crucial role in managing our clients' portfolio of planned projects, providing comprehensive solutions, and assisting them with various needs and advice.
Q3. What do you think are the challenges faced by public-sector housing?
They must manage many old public sector buildings/housing that need repairs and maintenance while ensuring tenants are unaffected by major construction projects and have somewhere safe to live. Also, there is a need to meet deadlines for the completion of projects.
Q4. How can LHC help find a solution to these challenges?
We not only provide them with great frameworks but also an exceptional service. We aim to support them throughout the project to ensure it is delivered on time and in high quality. Eliminating the extra burden of managing the project and dealing with obstacles during the project.
