I started my first business in the 1991 recession. My first clients were all small engineering companies who needed to gain ISO9000 accreditation as a badge of quality.

Within a couple of years I was training and consulting with some of the world’s most successful companies from the UK, Europe, S Africa and the US, across engineering (my background) and increasingly services and consumer businesses.

I opened an office in the US and expanded my offer to include human resources, environmental management (way ahead of its time then) and occupational health and well being.
