In Scouting I have held a number of roles including Assistant Scout Leader and District Explorer Scout Commissioner. I was also involved in a number of international events as Manager of Arrivals & Departures for EuroJam and the World Scout Jamboree here in the UK. This was followed in 2009 as the Safety Advisor for WINGS. In 2011 I was the logistics lead for the second 3 weeks of Berkshire Scouts Project Africa expedition to Uganda.

My professional background is in aviation, mostly in air traffic control. I spent 6 years in operational roles at several airports before moving to headquarters. Since 2005 I have worked in quality and business management, and lately in operational safety performance and improvement, leading a programme of activities to maximise the safety of aircraft operating in the UK.
