Professional info

The life of a trainer has currently stopped and I have moved back into industry. The FullyEngineered website is more a remembrance to previous works and achievements. I still keep the site partially updated, as with the downloadable CV and some of the information below.

Currently I work for the world renowned and iconic retail and department store, Harrods as their HVAC Technical manager. Having achieved a Masters in Building Services (MSc) and choosing the Sustainable Energy modules it has put me in good stead to manage the water and air plant controlling the temperature needs of our staff, clients and customers. Something of a challenge considering the age of the buildings and the variation of the mechanical and electrical plant.

My Chartered Engineer status from CIBSE, the Chartered Institute of Building Service Engineers has also allowed me to keep in touch with industry and the necessary updates to it's practises.

Further keeping up to date with building technologies I have passed the Schneider Struxureware operating and engineering courses, allowing me to update programs, graphics, but mostly to guide our upgrade from a 35 year old Satchwell Sigma system to the new and powerful Struxureware/ecoStruxure platform. Having already a Tridium Niagara 4 certification (and already having Niagara AX certification and previously a Niagara AX trainer), I find these latest additions adding and rounding off my Building Management Systems (BMS) awareness.

But my beginnings were far humbler, starting as a time served electrical apprentice in 1980. Since then I have attained Electrician, Approved Electrician, Technician and moved on through to different parts of the construction industry, climbing ever higher.

My life as a Building Controls Engineer started in the 1990s with Johnson Controls and Trend systems. This has allowed me to gain and hold an strong interest in Energy, Controls and Management, something that also linked very nicely with my other fervent interest in technology and IT.

Life and work took me away from the UK for a few years, where I happily lived and worked in the Netherlands (whist also working in other lands). Then life again changing and bringing me back to the UK.

Here I formed my company (FullyEngineered.com) and have provided Engineering and Training services to industry for over 10 years.

Finally returning back into industry by joining Harrods (3 years currently) as one of their more senior managers.
