Overview
For over 40 years I have professionally promoted health and safety using both specialist knowledge in health and safety and previous wide operational management experience within the water industry and external consultancy practices. Continual professional development has been a high priority including ISO 18001 delivery to clients. My current knowledge and experience stretches from front line operational and design activities through to successively increasing levels of management responsibilities and more challenging posts. Predominately working in the water industry I have also gained years of extensive experience in various commercial environments as a freelance consultant. I am a qualified teacher, delivering a wide variety of courses to clients in West of Scotland for Aberdeen College and others. Clients include: Jacobs, Halcrow Engineering Consultancies. Transport Scotland, Ellis Whittam, Royal Scottish Academy Music & Drama, Tiso Group, International Oil Drilling Services, Blue Triangle Housing Association, Demolition projects, Construction, Facility Management Auditing for William - Martin Compliance Solutions.
