Summary
With more than 28 years' experience, I advise Boards, Executive Teams and senior leaders on health and safety governance, organisational risk and leadership assurance.
ย
Having held senior leadership roles within organisations including Johnson & Johnson (DePuy), Sheffield City Council and the NHS, I understand the challenges leaders face when balancing commercial pressures with legal, operational and governance responsibilities. My role extends far beyond compliance; I help organisations build robust management systems and assurance frameworks that protect their people, strengthen decision-making and stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
ย
My experience spans healthcare, education, manufacturing, utilities, construction, waste management, hospitality, retail and Tier 2 COMAH environments, supporting complex, multi-site organisations operating within highly regulated sectors.
ย
As Founder of accuSafe Consulting, I work with organisations to develop practical, proportionate health and safety management systems, undertake independent governance reviews and provide strategic advice to leadership teams. Alongside this, I founded The Compliance & Leadership Collective, an executive leadership community that brings together experienced specialists across governance, compliance and organisational performance to provide senior leaders with independent challenge, peer support and expert guidance.
ย
Together, these roles reflect my belief that effective governance is about far more than avoiding prosecution. It is about giving leaders the confidence, assurance and evidence they need to make informed decisions, protect their organisations and create environments where people and businesses can thrive.
ย
Clients value my ability to translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into commercially sensible, practical advice that strengthens governance, improves organisational resilience and supports long-term success.
