I worked in Technical Positions in Soft Drinks & Meat Plants for over 40 years. I have a BSc (Hons) in Biology from the University of Hertfordshire. I have been a member of the Royal Society of Biology since 1980 (MRSB). I have worked for Schweppes Africa & India, Coca-Cola Schweppes Beverages, and Haverhill Meat Products (Sainsburys), and part of the Coca-Cola Divisional Audit team(out of Atlanta), all UK based. I have been Microbiologist, Auditor, and Technical Manager. I came to NZ in 2002 as Quality & Environment Manager for Coca-Cola Oceania. Following redundancy, I then became the Quality & Environment Manager for Frucor Suntory Beverage in 2007. In my 16 years there I held a number of positions, including Quality Improvement Manager (Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt certified), Food Defense Manager & Crisis Manager. Since stepping down, I have taken to Voice Acting and completed a Course at The Voice Actor College, based in Dallas, in 2025. My new website is due to be launched within the next month, but I can provide Demo reels of my voice acting. My personal likes are in Narration, Documentary, Medical, and Microbiological commentaries, with a voice-over for presentations.
