He is proficient in German and Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "Nick uses his strong geoscience background to help shape the direction of hydrocarbon and carbon storage in and around the UK. I have worked with nick over a 10 year span From the outset of the UK regulator (oil and gas authority OGA) where he had a hands on approach to developing the regulators view of basins potential. I have watched his development into the subsurface head, leading and managing a sizeable team who are actively transforming the north Sea (North sea Transition Authority) from a hydrocarbon basin into a world leading carbon storage regime. This has required nick to have thourgh knowledge of not just the subsurface/technology risk and opportunities, but the skill to work with a range of other non technical regulators and stakeholders both in the UK and with other similar organisations wrestling with carbon storage across the world. Nick ensures that he gets to know his colleagues and is keen to create a good working environment. I would happily work with Nick as both colleague and trusted friend again, within our fascinating and rapidly evolving industry. Dr Ron Parr. (retired senior geophysicist NSTA)" and "It is an absolute pleasure to write a recommendation for Nick. It’s rare to have an opportunity to pull together two hugely influential organisations and deliver innovative work that really pushes the boundaries at such an important time for the CCS Industry. Nick was the absolute centre of this, both enabling and delivering through his team. Throughout the work, which at times was extremely demanding and challenging, Nick has an extraordinary ability to take incredibly complex concepts and boil them down to the critical points. More than anything else I thoroughly enjoyed working with Nick and I am (and I hope he is) incredibly proud of what we were able to deliver. "
