Ollie Folkes takes a deep dive into his career and his impact on Black Cat.
In this episode of Black Cat Chat, we take a career deep-dive with Ollie Folkes – our Bristol Office Lead and one of the longest-serving Black Cats.
From a 15-year-old’s first site visit to leading Black Cat’s Bristol office, Ollie shares lessons on cautious growth, team culture without bureaucracy, and why collaboration wins on major projects.
Ollie brings a somewhat different approach to his way of working to some within the Black Cat team, with a calm reassuring demeanour that is infectious.
