Charmaine McKeown, Head of HR

“If you would like to work at Max Fordham, I would say, bring your talent, and your energy and your initiative and be ready to make your mark.  It’s an exciting place to work.”

‘When Max established the Practice in 1966, he did so with a clear view about how it should run.

His vision was for a democratic workplace, and that everyone should have a voice. He believed that it should be an inclusive, diverse and interesting environment – one where you would be proud to work.

Max Fordham has always recruited the best talent, both engineering and business administration. What I love most about my role is seeing how individuals learn and develop and begin to take up the responsibility of ownership through active involvement in running the business.  Finding people comfortable in an environment that encourages mutuality, trust and respect, and actively eschews the ‘corporate’ is very satisfying from my point of view.’
