John Budu-Aggrey, Managing Director, Alpha BSE Training

Mr John Budu-Aggrey is a professional building and civil engineer with extensive experience in new build, restoration, refurbishment and conversion activities.

He worked as a project manager in Liberia for the United Nations for 8 years in the mid-1970s on a project called “Self-help Village Development Programme” which is aimed at helping rural residents to acquire life skills and alleviate poverty.

For more than ten years, 1984 to 1995, John worked as a project engineer in many countries with a number of world class construction organisations including Sir Robert McAlpine, Mowlem Construction and John Laings Construction. John was awarded "Best Engineer of the Year" at Sir Robert McAlpine in three consecutive years from 1987.

After years of delivering projects, and inventing and developing new practices in the construction and engineering sectors, John decided that his real passion was in the training and developing of people with employable skills in the building engineering industry.

Consequently, in 2002 he set up Alpha BSE Training (formally known as Euro Bright) which delivered construction and engineering training programmes to more than two hundred students a day. Thousands of local residents, in boroughs east of London, have benefited from these training programmes which have helped them to gain employment and transform their lives. He is a patron of Reach Society.
