Currently working with Structural Engineers, Blast Specialists, Architects and Designers in achieving ASIAD guidance in airport design to mitigate the threats of Terrorism. 

Chartered Security Professional, OSPA Outstanding Security Performance Awards winner 2023, 5 x security awards finalist, Mental Health Advocate.

A bit about me: After leaving school I became a National Hunt Jockey and secured my place on the family tree of the “Eddery Jockeys”. 

After 70+ rides I thought I would do something less dangerous, so I joined the police.

Spent 9 years with TVP in many departments including Method and Special Tactics, pro-active Burglary team and as a Method of Entry officer (Forcing entry under warrant)

Continued in Security ever since and have worked at Oxford University and for the Government.

Branched into retail as a Regional Loss Prevention Manager and then secured a role with TJK Europe as a European Technical Specialist.

Became a Technical Director for a consultancy that dealt with Maritime and Superyacht technology.

Now with AtkinsRealis as an Associate Consultant, and part of a team of inspiring individuals, I provide security consultancy + Design reviews spanning across the various sectors.

A keen advocate for Mental Health, using exercise and the gym to reach out to guys and promote better understanding of the problems that we as “Blokes” go through.
