My background is in agriculture and Engineering. Biomass heating caught my attention whilst on a visit to Scandinavia where its use is widespread. On returning to the UK I soon discovered little was known about it, so I researched and learnt all I could from my Scandinavian friends.

In 2005 I set up Bioheat, with Simon, and offered consultancy for wood fuelled projects (free of charge initially). I have advised on many successful projects, trouble-shooted others and introduced several boiler manufacturers to the UK market.

Away from work my duties as a local councillor keeps me busy.

I am a qualified mechanical engineer with a wealth of experience as a heating engineer. Prior to setting up Bioheat with Roger in 2005, I specialised in oil fired central heating with a large customer base in the South West. My career has also included time with Westlands Helicopters and joint operations with The Army and Navy.

I am an avid outdoor man who loves to travel. My interests include motorbikes, and, as a successful competitive rider, I am now mentoring and supporting younger riders.

I have worked in the home improvement market for over 25 years, and joined Roger and Simon in 2011 as the Sales and Marketing director. It was apparent to me that Bioheat had the potential to be one of the top three players in the national biomass heating market and I considered my sales expertise to be a valuable asset to the company.

I am married with four children and live in Worthing, Sussex, my main interest is training and competing in dog tests and trials, I also like to stay fit and healthy.
