I was born in London and live in Swindon, Wiltshire, with my wife.

I left school aged 16 for a four-year apprenticeship with the Ministry of Defence, from which I obtained a Higher National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

On leaving the MOD, I joined a multinational Information Technology corporation where, in a career spanning 30 years, I held numerous senior management positions in multiple technical roles.

Proofread over a two-year period by five people:

• Peter Morgan (BSc.)
• Steve Sutton (BSc.)
• Prof Anthony W. Parker (FRSC - Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry)
