Craig Finlayson

I provide commercial and operational leadership across the region, working with our senior leadership team to improve processes, drive growth and strengthen long-term performance.

I first joined Currie & Brown in the UK before relocating to Dubai in 2008 as a Senior Cost Manager. Since then, I’ve worked on projects across cost management, project management and advisory services. I’ve led large client teams in the UAE and KSA, established our regional Contract Advisory Service, and even stepped in as interim Regional Managing Director in KSA. I also sit on the World Regional Board for the RICS and oversee our APC programme.

Career highlights

There have been many. Relocating overseas. Helping colleagues achieve their APC. Supporting the growth of our regional business.

One highlight that stands out is moving our Dubai office to Dubai Hills after COVID. Seeing the team return to a new, modern space was a proud moment.

Why Currie & Brown?

Joining Currie & Brown is an opportunity to grow. You’ll work on diverse and challenging projects across the region, with the support of a collaborative culture.

We also offer genuine opportunities to relocate. I’ve lived that journey myself and know the value it brings.

What makes it different?

The culture. Currie & Brown is serious about supporting people to progress. You’ll always have the chance to learn, take on new challenges and advance your career.

It’s also a business where collaboration is real. You’ll get the support you need, and you’ll be expected to give the same in return. That’s what makes it rewarding.
