Former McLaren Construction Commercial Director | QS to £1bn+ Contractor

What does real commercial leadership look like inside a £1bn contractor? In Episode 2 of the Own the Build Leadership Series, Paul is joined by Chris Hartley, former Commercial Director at McLaren Construction and now a business change consultant and quantum expert. Chris shares a candid and reflective account of his journey from early-career QS to leading commercial teams of more than 50 people. This isn’t a polished career highlight reel, it’s a grounded discussion about what actually builds authority at scale. The conversation explores: • Why mastery of detail is the foundation of commercial credibility • The shift from “doing” to leading and why people skills become decisive • Building and sustaining high-performing commercial teams • How trust is earned, given and recalibrated • The role of high-quality information in better commercial decisions • Freeing up QS time to focus on judgement, not administration • What world-class Commercial Directorship looks like heading into 2026 Chris also reflects on succession planning, developing future leaders and why rushing progression without grounding ultimately limits long-term impact. If you're an aspiring Commercial Director, or already leading at senior level, this episode offers a practical benchmark for what “good” really looks like at the top.
