Richard Barnes
Founder
I first started Catling to provide a service which was clear and uncluttered and without frustrating ulterior motives. At the risk of a major cliché I truly do have a passion for homes and people and love to deliver above and beyond clients expectations. Starting my working life in large scale house building as a QS this became a good background to progress to project management and client side consultancy. I have a preference for the high end residential but just anything different is exciting and appealing. My Wife and I have two children both growing fast and try to do as much as a family as possible before they leave the nest !
