I have worked in the Utility industry for 36 years across Telecoms, Electric and Water, as well as gaining experience in the Local Authority sector.

I have covered a multitude of experience ranging from engineering, Planning and Investment, Streetworks and Network Management, hence giving an expansive view across the ‘cradle to grave’ aspect of the work journey. I have been working for Thames Water for the past 16 years where I have responsibility for the Local Authority relationship, the performance management of Thames Waters contracts/contractors for streetworks as well as identification for NRSWA adoption of current and new legislation, managing provision of any streetworks legislative prosecutions, including acting as expert witness, on both criminal and civil cases.

I have been directly managing streetworks since 2001, introducing various new legislative requirements into BAU operational activities and learning packages.

Currently, I hold/fulfil the following roles in Thames Water and the HAUC environment:

• Street Works Senior Regional Streetworks Manager for TWUL
• Joint Chair of AHAUC
• Chair of the SROH working group
• Steering group member for Safety Code of Practice
• Member for Inspection Code of practice group
