Meet the winner: David Anderson, BAM Nuttall 

.

David Anderson CQP FCQI is a civil engineer with nearly 30 years’ experience in the construction industry.

Our winner has managed to be influential at all levels, achieving the holy grail of taking the quality function from being a bit player to being an essential contributor to the key business decisions. He did this whilst also building the respect of his team, undertaking significant work outside of his day-to-day role in his own time, and retaining a humility which came across clearly to all the judges.
