What did you want to grow up to be when you were a child?
I wanted to be a Criminal Psychologist, but settled for the closest next thing, H&S!
How do you think the Coronavirus pandemic has impacted on people’s perception of health and safety?
I think it has shifted people’s thinking to be more tuned into looking after our health, definitely. Still a lot more work to do on the safety perception though.
Who would you like to play you in a film of your life?
Gary Oldman.
What is your greatest career strength?
Adaptability, to both situations and in how to effectively build relationships with everyone I meet.
What is your favourite tipple (alcoholic/non-alcoholic drink)?
Coke and Cognac.
Where do you see the industry going in the future?
I see a huge Digital Transformation. The use of AI, 4D marketing and training tools to help create bespoke and true to life and hard-hitting scenarios to educate people on workplace hazards.
What is the worst part of your job?
Loneliness.
Do you reply to work emails over the weekend and/or holidays?
Holidays: A big no-no.
Weekends: Only if it suits and something is playing on my mind. I don’t expect replies or feel the need to caveat out of hours messages, we all work to our own schedules and do what suits us.
