All my previous research and technology has been removed on leaving, There was only 1 thing new and they should only be using - that is how to get rid of all the waste lying around when I got there.

• Formulated all of the contract pack Bunnings consumer products allowing River Sands to double their bagged grout business in 1 year. • Modified the powder flow characteristics of the River Sands product range yielding a 15% increase in productivity for no investment.• Formulate a complete range of one and two pack high yield grouts for the River Sands new mining business.• Formulate a range of cementitous high performance cement anchor grouts.• Implemented my unique core-shell technology for dustless dry spray shotcrete..• Developed the “infiltrate” gas pipe jointing grout currently being considered by Saipem.• Developed unique rehabilitation grout for sewer linings allowing a 500% increase in productivity.• Installed my unique high yield grout based on non ettringite based hydrates

• Discovered the ring opening of aziridines by carbamic acid reaction pathway leading to the ability to make heterogeneous self aligning coatings from homogeneous stable single pack latent amine paints. The full reaction pathways allow the formation of polymers which are environmentally stable and have been shown to withstand more than 18,000 hours of QUV weathering. The polymers are extremely tough, inert and show phenomenal adhesion to the substrate. Generated an unbreakable base technology patent.• Developed both the low cost and sub –5 degree Celsius cure epoxy bonded anti skid systems.• Developed the ‘void filler’ foundation foam, to allow cost effective adhesion of polymer coatings to damaged and uneven surfaces in high traffic areas.• Developed the hardest wearing none epoxy coating known, outperforming Acrylic thermoset and thick hot applied systems by a factor of 2 times. The performance of the coating was so high that it was given a testing category that was well beyond the standards scale.• Developed the entire “Blockseal” range of products to stabilise and beautify block paving.• Developed a unique flexible traffic surface for the absorption of stress in steel rail/concrete interfaces.• Mathematically modelled the thermoplastic paint formulations to give the best price :performance regardless of which raw material used to create the formulation. This model works in a simple Microsoft excel spread sheet and allows for quick raw material substitution. The model also records the production data and checks for minor raw material variation highlighting problems which would not be picked up during standard QC testing.

• Developed the inter-branch polymer technology which allows the formation of high performance modified polymers without the typical block copolymer degradation. Interbranch polymers allowed the massive cost reduction in deep water oil drilling and were produced from single cook parent polyester. The low abrasion version proved almost impossible to cut using a diamond saw. • Produced the highest cross linked density and solids polyester at a low viscosity using minute amounts of pendant fluorine technology.• Produced poly-limonine as an environmental and environmentally sustainable novel polymer.

Coated everything from cars to missiles.• Launched the highest profit product ever attained within the company based on a novel environmentally acceptable cationic limited life surfactant. The average profit yield (£500,000 per annum) for this range was 86% of sales value. This business was created in one year form a nil technology base.• Developed a unique FTIR technique for monitoring the none destructive thin surface coating decay pathway. The technology was sufficiently sensitive to detect the erosion of silicone over time and the orientation of fluorine molecules on the surface of the paint.• Introduced an new aerosol valve / propellant system that yielded a 30% over all total cost saving without effecting the performance of the existing product range.• Produced a refractive index match technology based on phase contrast techniques in biology to cure hologramming and scratch damage on optical surfaces, a patented technology.

• Developed the industry’s highest rigidity, highest strength mine anchor “HS anchor” technology currently employed in Australia, America and Europe. The HS technology performance was 500% greater than current technology at that time.• Developed the worlds first dry sprayed mine 40 MPa shotcrete for the rapid reinforcement of tunnels in soft rock mines. Currently the technology that holds Canary wharf, London, up.• Produced the mine fill and void filling Durafoam formulation and technology based on environmentally stable hydrates, yielding long term support and stabilisation to retreat mining.• Consultant chemist in the setting up of Fosroc Poland, the second highest proffitbility business launch. Second only to Castrol Korea.• Conceived and developed the Hywel-Evans Bunford Equation for the formation of sulphoalumiante be-lite cements thus breaking the Chinese the CAB stranglehold on the formation technology.• Developed the anchor-stick solid polymer, heat activated anchor for extremely strong and demanding applications. Performance was 1200% greater than current technology and over twice that of the HS technology. This technology is still patented.
