About the Business
Over a career spanning thirty years within Strathclyde Fire and Rescue service, I served in a wide variety of posts including Head of Risk Management, Area Commander and Director of Strategic Planning. I served for 11 years at Board level and from June 2007 to May 2011 I was seconded to the Scottish Government as Deputy to the Chief Inspector of Fire Services for Scotland, within the Scottish Fire and Rescue Advisory Unit (SFRAU).
I am an experienced incident commander having taken charge of many significant emergency incidents over my career. In particular, I was responsible for setting up and running Strathclyde Fire and Rescue's Gold Command for the Stockline Explosion disaster and formed part of the Scottish Resilience response to the terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport.
