I like the cut of this man's jib. That's sailor's slang - salty dog talk. The man's name is Steven Morgan. He's in charge of buying building work to the tune of £120m per month - yes, per month. Airport stuff. He is chief cook and bottle washer for construction at BAA. Used to be an admiral in the US navy. Do you fancy doing business with him? The Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply voted him procurement manager of the year. That's when he was buying building work for the nuclear boys at Sellafield. Mind you, that was only £60m a month. If you're keen to do his airports, recognise this: he wants designers and contractors to give him a damn good price and not to trouble him from start to finish.
