Employment

I come from an engineering background and have carried out various roles within that field. I have been a cabler, jointer and Plant Protection Officer. I have worked in the controls environment, starting in the EPMC in Oxford moving to High Wycombe Control.

This background I believe gives me a wide understanding of the day to day issues that you face and I need no persuading when you describe how difficult the job can be sometimes. It also helps me understand the relationship between control and field.
