  Last update: 21st February, 2008

All my working life has been with Shell. I started at Shell Haven Refinery in Essex in 1978 as a Refinery Technologist and spent 8 years there before moving to Shell Mex House in London where I stayed for a couple of years. I spent 1989 in The Hague, and since 1990 I have been working in Shell Centre, London. I say something about my work at Shell here.

Much of my work has been in the development of standards for information management. Initially this was for internal use, but since 1993 I have been helping to develop standards in ISO TC184/SC4 - Industrial Data. I say something about this work here.

One of the ways I have contributed to the development of information management is through involvement in European Commission supported projects. I say something about this involvement here.

At the beginning of 2001 I was made a Visiting Professor in the Keyworth Institute at the University of Leeds. I say something about these activities here.

Over the years I have published some papers that are in the public domain. I provide a list of these publications, and where I can I make them available electronically. I have also read and contributed to quite a lot of stuff, and I make reference to these here.
