Twenty-five years delivering business and IT solutions — data, infrastructure, telecoms, applications, supply chain, trade compliance — across some of the most regulated industries there are. That breadth was built by doing the work in each, not just supervising it. Hands-on enough to build it; senior enough to run it.
Open to permanent, contract or interim engagements. Based in Hampshire with easy reach of London, Heathrow and Europe — happy to work remotely or hybrid, across the UK and EU. If a programme is stalling, or a transformation needs someone who can both shape it and run it, let's talk.
The same instinct runs through all of them: be pragmatic, find the real constraint, and deliver something people are genuinely better off for.
Stand up and lead large, complex programmes — governance, delivery framework, the stakeholder relationships and the onshore/offshore structure needed to get moving and stay on track.
Run delivery end to end, blending Agile, Scrum, SAFe, waterfall and hybrid to fit the client's maturity — not the other way around.
Parachute into an at-risk programme, work out what's actually wrong, rebuild trust with suppliers and stakeholders, and get it delivering again.
PMO set-up and operation, target operating models, business & IT transformation, and data / trade-compliance — turning intent into a working capability.
When the data underpinning supply chain, finance, suppliers and trade compliance is fragmented — or about to be re-platformed — the rest of the operation can't move with confidence. I'm leading exactly that kind of change now.
Migrating from SAP Master Data Management (MDM) to Master Data Governance (MDG) for a top-tier telecommunications operator. Transferring and updating Materials (MM), Plant Maintenance (PM) and Supplier master data across multiple teams and locations.
Updating the governance model and change-request workflows alongside the migration — bringing Data Custodians, Trade Compliance (SAP GTS), Supplier Onboarding and Maintenance & Service teams into one operating rhythm.
Interfacing SAP S/4HANA, PLM and multiple non-SAP systems — keeping master data accurate at source and consistent across the wider estate.
Long before "digital transformation" was a phrase, I was designing and delivering the technology that tracks physical assets, mobilises field workforces and gives the supply chain its visibility — auto-ID, RFID, barcode and mobile. I still do the hard, practical end of it.
Tracking and managing high-value physical assets — returnable containers, brewery kegs, field equipment and devices. Build and install of RFID and barcode solutions including the Carlsberg Tetley keg-management system. Intelligent labelling and food supply-chain monitoring for a major British retail brand.
Senior member of the team delivering 26,500 mobile devices (PDAs) to mobilise Royal Mail Letters' workforce — supplier work streams, logistics, commissioning and early-life support, from procurement through to customer acceptance across hundreds of sites.
Electronic proof-of-delivery (ePOD) for a parcels network across 100+ UK sites; Tesco's first RFID solution and Home Shopping logistics monitoring; smart-metering field rollout; and supply-chain tracking for global brands.
Project values describe a single deliverable; programme figures (devices, sites, locations) show the full scale of the work those projects sat within.
An engineer's grounding, a deliverer's track record, and a builder's hands. The thread is consistent: understand the real problem, then make something that works.

In 2026 I founded Pragticality, a privately held portfolio of pragmatic, practical ventures — held to one standard: useful to the people who use it, paid for by the people it helps. As founder and product owner I do the real work — product, data discipline, delivery — which keeps me close to the craft I lead in others.
The portfolio's current focus, trade compliance, sits squarely alongside my day-job expertise in master data and trade-compliance transformation. Visit pragticality.com →
Programme leadership, a delivery rescue, or a consulting conversation — I read every message.
