About Certo


Certo Management Services was founded in July 2020 by Stephen Roche. Peter McIlhagger joined in August 2020, and Jeff Day in December that year.

Stephen and Jeff have for some years been keen to establish an independent project management consultancy that was of an appropriate size to be able to provide client-focused delivery of large complex projects through a senior personnel hands-on approach.

Certo has been established to provide project management consultancy on project delivery through trust, commitment, loyalty and the application of hard-won experience.

The Directors of the firm have between them close to 100 years of experience in the industry, most of it gained through working for large practices: Stephen and Jeff as Partners of Gardiner & Theobald LLP and Peter as a Director at Mace, Paragon and Abacus.

Their experience covers a multitude of sectors, including: high rise residential, commercial offices, retail, leisure, education, infrastructure and town centre regeneration. As a result of the Grenfell tragedy the team has also developed expertise in the recladding of high-rise residential buildings.

The Project pages provide details of some of the notable projects that we have delivered, together with information regarding current projects that the team is delivering as Certo MS Limited.

We are very proud of the projects we have delivered and those we are currently delivering for a number of key Clients.  We are keen to expand our practice through repeat business and by bringing our approach to project delivery to new Clients. We would be delighted to discuss your project requirements and map out how we can help so please contact us with your enquiry.
