In March 2024 I retired from SSEN after almost 36 years. For the past 9 years of my career I held the post of Street works Manager and prior to this I was the Street works admin manager for 11 years. I remain secretary of SWHAUC and HAUC (UK) and part of the Street works convention committee. I was Co-chair of the HAUC (UK) performance group, a member of the SWUK Operations EPG group and a member of the ENA but have now resigned these positions so I can concentrate on my part time role of HAUC (UK) Communications Manager. I am proud to continue to serve the wider Street works industry where my role primarily involves updating the HAUC(UK) website, HAUC (UK) Linked-In site as well as a number of other admin related tasks. I am also part of the HAUC App focus group looking at new development.

Clive has a background rooted in utilities, defence, security, and education leadership in the private, public and not for profit sectors. From 2012 to 2017, Clive was Global Head of Resilience at National Grid, a role covering all UK and US assets, and a then-workforce of over 27,000 people. In this role, Clive represented National Grid at the UK’s Energy Emergencies Executive Committee (E3C) and the Scottish Government’s ‘Ready Scotland’, while directing interaction with the myriad of regional authority fora and groupings in the UK and north-east USA.

I have been privileged to work within local government for over 12 years, 4 years within Highway Engineering and a further 10 years within the Street Works Industry (as a Highway Authority & as a Statutory Undertaker). I have been fortunate to be able to work within local government, the technology sector (a SaaS provider who supports the whole industry) and the utility sector, delivering rural broadband. This has provided me with various opportunities and experiences to further appreciate the challenges the wider street works industry faces when delivering activities and fast paced projects.
