Director and co-owner of a hands-on consultancy based business specialising in Anaerobic Digestion performance optimisation and O&M contract solutions. Drawing on our past experience of the good, the bad, and the ugly of the AD industry, we shift poor-performing Anaerobic Digestion plants and investment portfolios from failure to profitability. We develop and enhance plans for new AD plants and provide operations and maintenance contracts to plant owners seeking a full management solution. We are not the traditional consultants that will write a lengthy report and leave you to implement change. We get involved at a grassroots level working as a part of your operations team for as long as it takes to achieve your goals.

As part of a core team of management, I was responsible for delivering a Super Materials Recycling Facility to process 220,000 of municipal waste per annum. We were tasked with the development of the plant on time and to meet set deadlines for the commissioning phase and hence hand over a stable operating plant to the new plant manager. I introduced a clear manufacturing mindset and made many modifications to software/hardware, processes, and staffing to achieve an average uptime figure over 90% (despite the technology and equipment supplier believing this was unattainable with the type of material we intended to process).
