Steve James Corbyn Managing Director Sentinel Design and Build Ltd
Istarted my career after completing my City & Guilds in bricklaying in the 1980’s and spent many years on building sites learning all aspects of the trade.
I’m an ambitious people person, and good with project management, so it naturally led onto me launching my own building company. Having worked on a couple of projects in Greenwich, I fell in love with the historic green Royal Borough and decided to make it Sentinel Design and Build’s catchment area and my home. There’s a diversity of architecture and I enjoy the community in South East London.
The decision paid off handsomely, giving the business focus, and I have more exciting developments currently in the mix.
What was your first job, and what was the pay packet?
Working for my Father who had a business in transport & warehousing. £3 per day.
What would you do with your last pound?
Engrave my initials in it and bury it in the foundations of one of our building sites for future generations to uncover
What is the biggest challenge facing your business?
Like so many businesses at the moment, constantly adapting to the challenges of the Covid pandemic. Ensuring that my team operates safely at all times, ensuring materials are delivered as efficiently as possible as many production lines have been impacted.
If you were Prime Minister, what would be your first decision?
Employ experts in their fields to advise me, rather than career politicians. I think this would restore trust in the electorate.
If you could do another job what would it be?
Stand up Comedian, Bingo Caller, Entertainer or Children’s Counsellor - anything that brings me in contact with people and allows me to raise a smile, laughter being the best medicine after all.
What book are you currently reading?
I’m up with the larks at 5am and don’t get much down time. I enjoy watching Netflix to unwind & Wallander is one of my favourites.
