An engineer by trade, following a career in the Royal Navy, I entered into the world of energy and waste.
Having being involved in a number of plant construction projects, commissioning, operation and plant management with both large multinationals and equity funded organisations, utilising a number of different technologies, I have developed significant experience and expertise in the EfW sector.
At W2E-UK We have a team of experienced engineers with proven skills across process design, technical advisor, engineering support, engineering and operations management, and project management.
I'm a freelence independent consultant for EfW technology (plant manufacturers). I develop sites and projects putting together the right technology with EPC contractors and funding options.
