I started my career in health & safety in the oil & gas industry where for the first 7 years I covered benchmarking for our technology software department before my interests sparked into the H&S side and I soon became the representative for our HQ in Leicester.

I then undertook my qualifications around health & wellbeing, risk and fire safety and my diploma which allowed me to become a chartered member of IOSH where I have been now for 10 years.

I was in oil & gas safety for 27 years before moving to the Automotive sector where I am now the HS&E Function Lead for HORIBA MIRA, where I have introduced centralised processes for all our compliance topic areas and influenced the greatest shift in safety statistics which meant we had the lowest number of accidents, near misses and the highest number of value-add hazard reporting in 6 years.
