I have a background as an emergency planning and resilience professional with a strong background in incident management, emergency response, and business continuity. My experience spans policing, Local Resilience Forums (LRFs), and local government, where I have contributed to strengthening preparedness for a wide range of major incidents.

I support multiple councils with business continuity planning, training delivery, risk planning, and operational debriefs. I have played a leading role in designing and facilitating multi-agency exercises and regularly deliver a number of training courses.
With a clear understanding of local authority operations I ensure that councils are equipped with the tools and capability to respond effectively to complex incidents and maintain continuity of essential services.
