Biography
I graduated from Edinburgh University with a First Class BSc (hons) degree in Environmental Chemistry in 1996. From there I ventured south to Lancaster University, completing my PhD in 2000. I became a Lecturer in ENV the same month and have been there ever since. I convene a semester long unit entitled ‘Soil Environments and Processes’, I contribute a third of a semester to a unit entitled ‘Pollution and Toxicology’ and I lead the First Year Undergraduate Field Course to Slapton (Devon, UK) for circa 140 first year students. Professionally, I hold the position of President as a Director of the UK-Branch of the Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC-UK). I have acted as a technical advisor to the Environment Agency and I have acted as a consultant to Essex and Suffolk Water, Golder Associates and The Shanks Group. I am a Business Fellow for the London Technology Network, with a remit to facilitate industrial/academic interaction. To this end I provide consultancy support to FOREM UK. I also bring my wealth of knowledge and experience in writing scientific research bids.

Biography
Since gaining an HND in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 1970 I have gained extensive experience on many engineering projects. Initially I worked as a design engineer and subsequently progressed to Project Leader, Project Manager and subsequently to Engineering Systems Manager with a large International Defence Contractor. Experience covers the entire project lifecycle from initial tender phase, through design/development, manufacture and installation phases as well as post delivery support on small to medium projects and on large complex systems, on both defence and civil projects. Latterly my work predominantly involved the management of a team of software development engineers and preparation of tenders and proposals, both on a single company basis and also as part of consortia bids. Through FOREM UK I am able to transfer these skills and use my expertise in the tender phase to support SMEs in the engineering sector.
