I have worked for over 20 years in cutting edge industries including the semiconductor industry, Formula One and defence, in companies which design, manufacture and service high-end equipment.  Previously a quality professional, in 2017 I transitioned into Health & Safety where I was able to devote more time to my passion for mental health and wellbeing.

I have a proven track record of winning awards, implementing management systems, leading organisations to achieve world class levels of health and safety performance and championing health and wellbeing programmes including the creation of business cases to get senior management attention and support.

I am a Certified IOSH Member (CertIOSH) holding a NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety Management, an experienced lead auditor (IRCA certified lead auditor trained) with an extensive experience of auditing against the ISO series of standards as well as the RBA Code of Conduct, and I am an experienced mental health and wellbeing trainer, delivering i-act courses online and face to face to both UK and international cohorts.

My passion for mental health stems from my own experiences and struggles with my own mental health which were particularly acute in the early 2000’s.  This is a subject I post regularly about on my Linkedin page.
