"A health and safety practitioner with 25 years’ experience working either ‘in-house’ or as a consultant.”

I joined Navigator in 2018 and deliver our health and safety offering, which includes:

  • Providing health and safety consultancy services to a diverse client base.
  • Auditing management systems and processes.
  • Conducting detailed workplace inspections.
  • Developing policies and procedures and specific risk assessments (including fire).
  • Development and delivery of bespoke training solutions.
  • As an IOSH-accredited trainer, I deliver IOSH Managing Safely and Working Safely.

I've been fortunate in my health and safety career to have worked in a diverse range of environments, from corporate, manufacturing, and logistics to outsourced hard services facilities management, as well as exposure to the sheer number of environments a consultancy role presents.

I’m a Chartered Member of the Institution of Safety and Health (IOSH).

  • During my career I have been involved in some interesting projects which have included the scoping, procurement and implementation of a software system to manage contractor health and safety activities on behalf of the Scottish Government, and working with a pan-European team in the development and delivery of a behavioural safety programme which was subsequently implemented at multiple manufacturing and logistics sites across Europe.
  • Blagging a tour of the THORP facility at Sellafield, I still faintly glow in the dark many years later.
  • After 25 years as a health and safety practitioner maintaining my sanity and sense of humour, those who know me well may dispute these claims.
