He has been actively involved in commercial archaeological practice in the west midlands in a wide range of roles over the last 22 years, including 16 years in project management. Over the last ten years Alex was involved in the operational direction of an archaeological contracting unit, including the provision of consultancy advice, the preparation of tenders and the senior management of fieldwork and post-excavation projects, as well as the management of a portfolio of archaeological projects, and report editing.
