I have been involved in chemistry since the early 80’s. I finished university with a PhD but I have never stopped learning. Since my early days in the lab, I have been involved in most aspects of chemistry including: manufacturing & production, marketing, business development and sales.Throughout my career, my key focus has always been on team work. Understanding that the sum is always greater than the individual parts, especially in a large multi-national like PlusChem.Joining PlusChem in 2000 has allowed me to consolidate all of my skills into one role. My main focus now is growing the group’s membership, establishing new partnerships and continuing to provide excellent service to our customers worldwide.When I’m not working I’m spending time with my family. I’m very fortunate to be living in a place like the Isle of Man, where I get to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, shared with my wife, our kids and cats.I'm CEO and Board Member of Pluschem EEIG, an International multiple joint venture company of privately owned chemical distributors. 1.5Bn turnover group with activities in over 30 countries.Founded in 2000 between 5 European partners and established and registered in Dublin/Rep. of Ireland. We have expanded our group to include 8 international operations including Japan, China, India, N and S Africa, Israel, Canada and Central America.
