Professional profile
When something needs sorting, I get into the operation.
My career started with a heavy vehicle apprenticeship and developed from the workshop floor into fleet, engineering and operational leadership. I enjoy getting into busy operations, understanding what is getting in the way and helping good people get things moving again.
I understand the business decision, the operational impact and the technical detail. That means looking beyond one fault or process and seeing how the workshop, depot, fleet, suppliers and wider operation affect each other.
Clear priorities. Better control. Vehicles back out working. Today, I support transport and commercial vehicle organisations to improve availability, engineering delivery and operational performance.
Career experience
Built through real responsibility.
Experience across commercial vehicles, fleet maintenance, workshop and depot operations, supplier management, mobilisation, procurement and operational improvement.
Fleet and operational leadership
Leading teams, maintenance strategy, facilities, supplier relationships, fleet performance and compliance focused operations.
Complex change and mobilisation
Supporting fleet transition, depot and workshop change, tender submissions, engineering assurance and operational mobilisation.
Professional focus
Where I add practical value.

Workshop & depot improvement
Helping teams improve vehicle flow, job control, availability, planning, processes and day to day operational grip.
