About Richard Reeves
Founder, Reeves Project Management
Guiding complex projects to success - with clarity, control, and confidence
Richard Reeves is a Chartered Civil Engineer and senior project executive with over 30 years’ experience delivering major infrastructure and built-environment programmes across the UK and internationally. He has led some of the most challenging projects in defence, nuclear, rail, water, and complex construction, always with a focus on achieving outcomes to quality, time, and budget.
From managing the £126m Oshogbo-Ede Water Supply Scheme in Nigeria — the largest of its kind in Africa — to restoring stakeholder confidence on the Orion laser research facility for the Ministry of Defence, Richard has built a reputation for tackling complexity with discipline and calm assurance. He has negotiated multi-million-pound contracts, resolved critical programme risks, and re-established project controls on schemes ranging from nuclear submarine facilities at Faslane to high-speed rail signalling on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link.
Throughout his career, Richard has been trusted to step into difficult situations, diagnose the issues, and lead programmes back to stability. His strengths lie in:
Project controls & risk management — establishing earned value systems, recovering failing schedules.
Stakeholder engagement — building alignment across client teams, contractors, and regulators.
Delivery focus — ensuring that critical milestones are met and reputations safeguarded.
An Approach Built on Values
Richard believes that successful project management is about more than processes — it is about clarity, integrity, and collaboration. He works closely with clients to understand their objectives, challenge assumptions where needed, and create practical pathways to delivery. His guiding philosophy is simple: projects succeed when people trust the process and each other.
Today
Through Reeves Project Management, Richard now provides specialist, independent project management and assurance for complex construction programmes. He supports organisations facing delivery challenges, helping them to regain confidence and achieve successful outcomes.

Each engagement begins with a short diagnostic review to identify root causes, risks and delivery constraints. We then implement focused interventions that restore structure, confidence and control — without disrupting ongoing operations.
