John Leane

John is primarily responsible for the delivery of public sector projects including Healthcare, Education, Civic, Office and Housing. He has been at the forefront in leadership of our healthcare division where he has led numerous successful public hospital projects, including the delivery of rapid-build hospitals in response to the Covid-19 crisis.

John joined the practice as a graduate in 1999, graduating with distinction and the college award for Portfolio Of The Year. Since then, he has been a stalwart of the office and progressed through the ranks, continually developing his level of knowledge to keep up with the latest developments in regulations, contract administration and good practice. This knowledge informs both the projects he is responsible for and those of the practice in general.

High profile completed projects include a new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for the National Maternity Hospital, a Child & Adolescent Mental Health Facility for Cherry Orchard Hospital (Healthcare Building Project of the year 2013) and the multiple award-winning Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre, Co.
