I'm passionate about science and engineering; keen to understand, develop and apply it to the challenges presented by fire.Having completed my A-Levels, at the age of 18 I started working at what was then Warrington Fire Research Centre. Over the years I've experienced incredible support from many of my colleagues (many of whom I now consider as friends). I am extremely grateful to all of those that have and continue to help me develop my education and career. I am extremely proud to have become a well qualified chemist and gained experience in fire testing and fire engineering, this enabled me to work my way up through Warringtonfire during my 23 years with them.I am now senior consultant at Maze Fire Consulting, working with clients to their safe and ambitious builds.
