DIANE BARNES
Practice Manager
Joining the practice in 1982, formerly Pheasant Keelagher Partnership, her duties were very much different than they are today. There was no photocopier or fax machines and certainly no PC’s or spreadsheets! Diane’s time involved manual typewriting and calculating the take-off dimensions for the Bills of Quantities by long hand and calculator.
As the Company grew it became limited in 2002 and changed the name to Keelagher Okey Klein. Diane’s duties and experience have grown over the years to meet the challenging demands of her role and the construction industry.
Outside of work
Diane looks after her family and has always had a dog which she enjoys walking. She enjoys listening to music and attending festivals and gigs. She has an adventurous spirit, coupled with her VW T1 Caravanette she gets away whenever she can.
