Summary
I am a Captain on the A320 at London Heathrow, having been in British Airways for over 24 years. I was a BA Cadet and joined on the B737, and subsequently flew the B777 for 18 years. Whilst at BA I have additionally worked in the construction industry and the British Army and am keen to use my skills and experiences gained both within, and outside of British Airways to the benefit of the Flight Data Monitoring team.

Ipswich Skills
I use my skills and experience gained from both operating as a pilot with British Airways and other environments outside of BA, to operate the A320 on the shorthaul network
I consider there are many parallels and similar themes routinely encountered both in flying and my various other roles For example, threat identification and management are core principles in aviation, construction and military operations Additionally I consider I have demonstrated my ability to effectively assess, prioritise and manage risks in a time-pressured environment, and all whilst operating as part of a team
Affiliations
- I enjoy running and cycling (especially now it’s easier on the eMTB) and spending time with my family (wife Julia and children Alyssa and Edward).
