David is a fully trained Chemical Engineer with over 30 years experience. Starting as a mechanical apprentice with a well known equipment supplier to the power station industry, David spent several years at power stations and industrial sites throughout the UK learning the fundamentals of mechanical engineering.

This period included regular attendance of a local college in south London to complete both his ONC and HNC (Ordinary and Higher National Certificates) in Mechanical and Production Engineering as well as including a year at Sizewell B, the country's first nuclear Pressurised Water Reactor.

Upon graduating from the University of Surrey in 1993, David specialised in the design and specification of Air Pollution Control systems for industry, first as a member of a R+D project team and then later as part of the Commercial Department, designing, costing and selling equipment.

Clients at that time included Pirelli Tyres, Sun Valley Foods, Carrs Agriculture, Michelin Tyres and many more in the food, chemicals and printing industry. In 2003, David started his own business and became a self employed Designer.

Continuing to design and specify air pollution control technologies, David has expanded his remit over the years in to areas such as ventilation, dispersion modelling and consultation over legislative areas with many clients.

In addition, structural design of vessels, scrubbing towers and discharge stacks have been added to the portfolio with particular emphasis on using thermoplastics and GRP (glass reinforced plastics) as a material of construction. David is very familiar with established design codes such BS 4994, BS EN 12573 as well as newer standards such as BS EN 13121.

Contracts have included installations for many UK water companies, food processing sites, pharmaceutical processes, printing houses and chemicals manufacturing. David generally works in collaboration with Fabricators and Sub-Contractors who have a need for process design input on projects.

Many projects have also been completed overseas with customers in South Africa, Nigeria, Ireland, Scandinavia and other parts of Europe all requiring assistance.

David is keen on hiking and golf. He splits his time between family in the UK and Austria. He and his partner, Connie, a Languages Teacher, keep chickens, ducks and cats. They also provide a home to frogs, snakes, lizards, deer and a wide variety of birdlife!
