I have worked in the Data Collection industry since 2000, managing many large scale data collection projects across the UK and Ireland for clients such as the Dft, Roads Authority, Roads Service, and Transport Scotland.Five years of my career were spent at Jacobs Consultancy as a Professional Engineer, where I gained vital knowledge of Traffic Modelling, Economic Assessment, Transport Planning and Transport Assesments. I carried out junction assessments using programmes such as ARCADY and PICADY, and assisted in building VISSIM and TRIPS Models. I also carried out Transport Assessments and NESA / COBA assessments.Using my transportation skills and data collection expertise, I formed Traffic Data Collection Ltd in October 2010. So far the company has carried out many projects across the UK with great success. My goal is to make Traffic Data Collection the best Data Collection firm in the UK, offering competitive prices for the best quality service.I also write for TV and Radio, and have had numerous commissions from BBC Scotland. At time of writing a drama I co-wrote for BBC Radio Scotland entitled "In For A Penny" (starring Shauna McDonald and Joe McFadden) has been nominated for a Sony Award.Specialties: - Data Collection (Junction Counts, Roadside Interviews, Journey Times, OD Surveys, Parking Surveys, Queue Length Surveys, Public Transport Surveys)- Market Research (Face-to-Face Interviews, Telephone Surveys)
