A 20-year plus background in local authority electrical maintenance eventually running a team of 10, plus contract staff, was the backdrop to a highly successful sales career in switchgear and lighting. Many years of experience as a light source specialist were to furnish me with a differing perspective as we started transitioning to LED. I have been very fortunate to visit Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Japan, USA Ireland and many parts of Europe in my Lighting journey and will forever be indebted to Ken Shaw who took me on as an apprentice electrician. Never stop learning and never stop asking questions is my maxim, but recognise every new day and every encounter as an opportunity in the fantastic world of Lighting and Electrical Delivery that I find myself lucky to be in. Even after 53 years plus, it still delivers a buzz every day
