I began working as a professional ergonomist in 1980. In 1991, I founded the consultancy Interaction of Bath, now registered with the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors and certified to the quality standard ISO9001.
I have provided expert evidence in over 100 cases in criminal or civil law in England & Wales and Scotland, acting for either side. Additionally, I act as ergonomics specialist for the Institute of Occupational Medicine and the British Standards Institute.
My academic background is strong: I am a Chartered Physicist as well as a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors. Importantly, I take particular care with the quality of my written output; my reports are clear, concise and correct.
