My interest in Engineering started at an early age as I’ve been told I was always pulling things apart to see how they worked, and sometimes even managing to put them back together!
On leaving secondary education I took an Engineering and Electronics apprenticeship with a large Instrumentation company which provided me with qualifications, and a hands-on introduction to the industry, in particular within the Marine sector.
After undertaking various roles in Sales and Project Management, I joined PSM in 1989 and it has been home ever since.
Joining initially as a Sales Manager and then becoming Sales Director and co-owner in 1993, I have been fortunate to be part of the growing team for more than 30 years. From the early days where PSM was a small team of Engineers positioned as a specialist provider of Engineered solutions, pulling together instrumentation from various suppliers, to our current position of having a complete and comprehensive in-house, developed and manufactured range of instrumentation.
PSM has always been a truly international business and has taken me around the world with many unforgettable adventures along the way and brought strong partnerships and personal friendships forged over the years.
As we have grown, so has our focus on the marine sector, with the development of purpose designed instrumentation now in its third generation responding to the growing sophistication of the market and our customers’ needs. Some of the most rewarding moments have come from seeing a product develop from its initial concept to a fully approved reality, installed and in service.
Away from work, I enjoy spending time in the countryside, either walking or riding a motorcycle. Motorcycling is a passion of mine, I have been riding since I was a boy, competing in Enduro events for many years, and more recently touring with my wife at a more relaxed pace, visiting Europe as often as we can.
