I am a mature professional with a wealth of transferable skills spanning corporate training, e-learning, digital media, and international project work. I began as a programmer at BNFL and progressed through graphic design, audio and video production, instructional design, copywriting, proofreading, and end‑user training, while also taking on project planning and product development responsibilities. Over the years I have worked across Europe, Scandinavia, and the USA with sectors including the Nuclear Industry, Power Generation, Finance, Legal, Aerospace, Pharmaceutical, Automotive, Lean Management, and Logistics, collaborating with people from many backgrounds to deliver effective training and communications. In 2012 I co‑founded a community radio station and spent the next dozen years in internet radio, managing programme scheduling, archives and on‑demand facilities, and presenting over 2,700 shows. From 2018 I semi‑retired to care for my father, handling health and welfare matters as well as probate, and I completed the online applications for Powers of Attorney and Probate. I am now seeking a fresh challenge where my mix of creative, technical and leadership experience can add value.
