President
Chartered Fellow of the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene (CFFOH)

Until taking early retirement in 2022 I worked for ExxonMobil, with my final role being the Occupational Hygiene Manager for Europe, Africa and Middle East, overseeing occupational hygiene practices across several countries.  Areas of expertise include Exposure Assessment and Strategy and regulatory compliance.

I served as Registrar of the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene from 2019 to 2025, following six years as a member of the Faculty Committee. I remain a member of the Faculty Strategic Working Group 4.

As President I look forward to supporting the delivery of the new 2026–2030 Strategy and raising the profile of occupational hygiene.  I also look forward to embedding my Presidential theme of recognising our senior and retired professional members and improving support for the next generation of Occupational Hygienists.

I remain interested in improving levels of competency and encouraging members to continue with their professional development.  I am an examiner for the Diploma in Professional Competency and involved in the current Diploma Preparation Days.
