Dean Pettigrew
Dean Pettigrew
Dean Pettigrew is a Level 6 Building Surveyor, with a passion to help young people to achieve their dreams. Coming from a single parent home, and failing all his GCSEs, Dean was able to turn his life around and go onto retake and pass his GCSEs, pass his A levels, gain a degree, and achieve a Masters in Building Surveying.
Dean was privilege to have a mentor who happen to be a Building Surveying manager. He was encouraged to ignore the pull of the streets and focus on a career, of which has allowed him to be apart of projects such as the Olympic Village, The Emirates stadium, The New Lee Valley Ice Rink, many different schools, Hospitals, and High Rise Complex buildings.
Dean is also an events organiser, being involved with many different festivals and club nights.
After successfully over coming a difficult and challenging environment and bad choices at a young age, Dean now feels it is time to give back and encourage others to the same.
