Some background ...

I started life as naturalist and turned from insects to fossils and then to a degree in Geology at the Royal School of Mines at The Imperial College of Science and Technology, London University and the Associateship of the Royal School of Mines.

Mike Kerney's (non-compulsory) course on Quaternary Studies led me into soils and then to a career from 1971 to 1986 with the Soil Survey of England Wales.

With the demise of the 'Survey' came a new career in environmental consultancy and the need for professional qualifications. First came membership of the Institution of Environmental Sciences, then Membership of the Institute of Biology and the award of Chartered Biologist and European Professional Biologist, followed by Membership of the Expert Witness Institute. More recently has been the award of Chartered Environmentalist (Society of the Environment)and most recently Membership of the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management.
