G4C Committee

Lizzy is a solicitor at Royds Withy King, based in Bath. Lizzy specialises in non-contentious construction and engineering matters, and advises a range of clients across the entire supply chain (from procurement and risk management through to delivery and life use of a development).

As a long-time supporter of Constructing Excellence, Lizzy joined the committee of the Generation 4 Change South West in 2019 because she was keen to help encourage the younger generation understand the vast range of opportunities available in the industry.

“I am thrilled to take over role of Chair of the Generation 4 Change South West. I look forward to continuing in Lisa Denby’s footsteps to represent and promote the breadth of passion in the industry across this region. Watch this space for more events and opportunities!”

Lizzy is also active in the local Bath community. She is a committee member for the CESW Bath Club (the local group for the Construction Excellence South West) and the Bath Young Professionals (a networking group who connects junior professionals across various industries and professions in Bath)

If you have an interest in the events organised by any of these committees, please contact Lizzy via email to elizabeth.painter@roydswithyking.com

Josh is a Senior Project Manager for Highways England’s Major Projects Directorate in the South West; currently responsible for the delivery a £330 million road project in Cornwall and closing out the project to deliver a new junction on the M49 near Bristol.

Prior to joining Highways England in 2016, Josh spent 8 years as part of the team at Bristol Airport, delivering a wide range of projects to sustainably increase capacity and maintain high standards of safety for airport users. It was during this time that he was sponsored to undertake an HNC in Construction.

“My real driver is being involved in projects that have a positive impact on people’s lives, getting parents home from work in time to see their kids before they go to bed, or enabling businesses to reliably plan their deliveries to help grow our economy”

“As an industry, construction has not always been viewed as an attractive career choice. I wanted to be involved with Generation for Change, to help spread the message to those starting out that it’s a very exciting place to be. It’s one of very few professions where the results of your hard work are tangible, and often for many years to come.”

I joined BPE in 2005 and have worked in the Construction and Engineering team since 2007. I am a Fellow of CILEX and recently completed my LPC, qualifying as a Solicitor in 2020.

I am dedicated to getting the results my clients want, both commercially and in a way that is cost-effective. I assist the team in advising contractors, employers and funders in drafting and negotiating thorough construction contracts and professional appointments.

I also review and report on sub-contracts, consultant appointments, collateral warranties and other agreements. With the client’s best interests always at the forefront of my mind, I tailor my guidance to suit their needs.”
