Your expert course leader is an award-winning consultant and trainer with 30 years’ experience in maintenance and reliability improvement. He founded his consultancy and training business to focus on maintenance and reliability improvement. As part of this, he developed a range of maintenance “models of excellence” with inputs from authors, international lecturers and some of the world’s leading consultants and operators. These models align well with the SRMP 5 pillars of maintenance. His work has been recognised as being at the leading edge of industry best practice, winning independent awards such as the UK Chemical Industries Association “Excellence in Engineering” award.

He spent the initial 10 years of his career in maintenance management for a major Chemicals Company (ICI), so he brings a very practical approach to training. He moved into consulting with ABB Eutech as their global maintenance specialist where he led maintenance and reliability best practice panels, delivered a wide range of maintenance improvement projects and trained other consultants.

He has worked across five continents, in a wide variety of environments from the world’s largest oil refinery to a small drinks production line. He is a fully qualified CMRP professional, and a globally respected maintenance consultant and best practice trainer.

He remains close to the industry as a respected specialist helping operating companies to achieve changes in performance. This ongoing field work enables him to continue to refine and extend best practice and the learning from this is continually fed into his training.

He now specialises in training and running Maintenance and Operating health checks but also remains active in maintenance improvement projects, facilitating some of the largest programmes in Europe. In addition, his unique experience of facilitating two major turnarounds when the Coronavirus escalated into lockdown have given him a rich insight into how events of this nature can disrupt maintenance. Moreover, his involvement in developing management processes and leading a Coronavirus response on a major industrial asset means he can talk with direct experience about how to cope and innovate in global pandemic situations.

He is also the expert course leader for the following courses offered by EnergyEdge:

• Preventive and Predictive Maintenance
• Effective Plant Turnaround Management
