I am currently a Director of Four Delta Consulting Limited and a Senior Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Liverpool.

I retired from Unilever Research Port Sunlight on 31 July 2002 as Lead Scientist after nearly 33 years service. An organic chemist, I carried out research in a number of key areas, most recently on the formulation of novel, cost-effective hygienic cleaners through design-driven use of high-throughput experimentation. I am experienced in the management of multidisciplinary research teams.

In addition to being a Director of Four Delta Consulting, I am an associate member of staff in the Department of Physics, University of Liverpool, where I assist with the Master of Research Degree in the Physical Analysis of Biological Interactions at Surfaces.
