After a short career as a school teacher he worked as a project manager and systems designer for a Facilities Management company with several blue-chip clients.

He has applied these to projects in the manufacturing, insurance, construction, transport, financial services, health care, NGO, computer services, petrochemical, retail, government and local authority sectors.
