Profile
I enjoy challenging situations and helping others achieve the best they can. I have many years of
experience of being both a team leader and a team member. I take pleasure in finding out what people
need and then delivering it. I am a problem solver that thinks laterally and finds humor in most
situations. I get on well with people and I consider myself a good listener. During my 34 years in
industry I have worked in the Power Generation/Transmission, Chemical, Petrochemical
Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas, Military, Nuclear reprocessing and Nuclear Decommissioning industries
(job list below). I have worked with and managed model build solutions in PDMS, AutoCad,
MicroStation and several others. I have been involved with business development and sales of both
engineering services and products for over 20 years, as well as managing both areas of the metrology
industry. I have been involved with various companies web site design and implementation and have
built up a great deal of knowledge concerning what and what does not work when building web based
content.

Business Development Manager January 2006 – April 2008
My role was to support the existing extensive client list and to develop new clients. The company
specialised in providing Dimension Control Surveys for the Oil & Gas industry working in the North
Sea Sector and worldwide. My role was to diversify the client base into non Oil & Gas business
sectors. I steered the company into BioFules, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical and Nuclear
Decommissioning business where I procured 3 profitable jobs at Sellafield. I sought out and coached
several software modeling partners overseas and undertook proficiency testing so that our clients
received the most cost effective solution. I undertook bid proposal/estimating from small jobs to very
large multi-million pound proposals and presented these to clients directors, managers and engineers. I
produced a PowerPoint presentation file so that the very complex technologies could be shown to
clients no matter their level of experience in Photogrammetry, Laser Scanning and Dimension Control.
Offset Services Limited
Warrington
Technical Director January 1986 – November 2005
My role was to manage teams of engineers using ICI’s Licensed CAMS software in the creation of 3D
As-Built models for Plant Design, Retrofit and Asset Management Projects. The technology was
developed into a world leader in the field of as-built software and systems. These packages were sold to
alliance partners and I undertook support training of client’s staff all over the world. I produced a
PowerPoint presentation file so that the very complex technologies could be shown to clients no matter
their level of experience in Photogrammetry, Laser Scanning or Dimension Control. On many
occasions our remit was to customise our as-built techniques and create bespoke engineering solutions
for clients in the onshore and offshore industries. Experience gained in all aspects of business and
software development, and running projects in the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical,
Military/Defence and Nuclear plants. Several years experienced in Nuclear Decommissioning and
Robotic Design and Deployment feasibilities studies. During my period at Offset Services I was
responsible for all aspects of project success from conception to final deliverable. I was heavily
involved with clients engineering staff both on site and in the design office. I was also involved in
managing engineers undertaking conceptual and detailed design and providing the 3D model as a
deliverable in PDMS and other systems. I undertook bid proposal/estimating from small jobs to very
large multi-million pound proposals and presented these to client’s directors, managers and engineers.
