Trainer

With a 35-year track record as an accomplished electrical engineer, including a decade in the Middle East overseeing multi-million pound infrastructure projects, I bring a wealth of practical experience to my work. Beyond my engineering achievements, I am passionate about education. I have had the privilege of sharing my knowledge as a lecturer and tutor at various academic levels, from HNC to undergraduate and post-graduate programs. This parallel career allows me to not only apply my technical expertise but also to nurture the next generation of engineers. It's a fulfilling aspect of my professional journey, contributing to both industry and academia.
