With over 30 years of industry experience as an operations manager, working for a range of blue chip organisations such as Royal Mail, Boots the Chemist, Unipart and Initial Rentokil, I moved into the education sector in 2012, which has seen me develop as an educationalist, with my area of specialism being management, supply chain and logistics. 

As the Operations Director for logistics in Higher and Further Education, my key responsibilities centre around developing the curriculum and apprenticeship, while developing industry links between the college and supply chain and logistics organisations and fostering engagement with a wide range of stakeholder groups.

Having progressed my personal development and education throughout my career, I have attained a MSc Management Development, BA (Hons) Business Administration and in 2019, PG Cert in Management Education from University of Surrey. Along with a teaching qualification, my academic achievements are underpinned by fellowships awarded by Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and Royal Society of Arts (RSA).

With personal and research interests in pedagogy practice, business education and international management theory and practice, I am actively working in these particular areas of academia and lo to engaging in research and publishing on these topics.

Teaching features as a core element of my academic practice, whereby I have taught a range of logistics, supply chain and management topics. I have had the privilege to have taught a diverse range of students include teaching in mainland China, whilst supporting a partnership teacher training program for Chinese teachers. 

Finally I have appeared as guest speaker for a range of events, including a Sino-British  Skills Forum, Local Authority Organisations, Chamber of Commerce events, representing education and skills development.
