My background and experience » 2000–present

Me, myself, I

Since I began offering my services as an independent contractor, I have continued to take on occasional quality management consultancy projects. But the great majority of my work in the QA field has been in supplier quality assurance. My clients are predominantly North American, and are well-known names in the space and defence sectors. I provide local representation for these clients to their suppliers and subcontractors in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, furnishing vendor liaison, vendor surveillance, source inspection, quality systems auditing, process auditing, test witnessing and corrective action management services.

My particular strengths and the weight of my recent experience lie in satellite power electronics, antennae and payload systems, dealing with communications products operating in wavebands ranging from S through to Ka. However, I accept assignments in any high reliability or quality critical field where my knowledge and skills match a client’s needs.

And also…

Entirely unrelated to the supplier quality assurance services I am promoting here, I am also a skilled web site developer with expert knowledge of web standards and accessibility techniques. I created my first web site in 1996, and since 2000 I have built many web sites for both commercial and public sector organisations.
